Supposedly mulberry tea is packed with vitamins and minerals and is used to prevent and treat several health conditions including cold symptoms, weight loss, and diabetes. It is my favourite afternoon tea after lunch. I don’t know if I’d loss weight from drinking this, but I do know it feels very comforting. The light hints of vanilla and the macadamia nuttiness make a nice balance to this otherwise very mild tea.

Had a cup of this in hopes my carb cravings would go away for the morning… they did .. but now they are back in the afternoon lol :) But I do like this tea, each time I have a cup I like it even more. Its a nice break from the fruity teas I normally drink. Nice light nutty taste. Another bonus is that it doesn’t get bitter if you oversteep it.

I loved this tea! I will definitely need to restock next time I’m at David’s. I take this one either as it is or with a teeny bit of honey. I ran out before I could try it with agave, but I feel like that would be just as excellent. It did well on multiple steepings and the flavor profile did not change drastically. A great tasting tea: I enjoyed the mild nuttiness with the mulberry.

I really wanted to like this one. I really did! This is my first mulberry leaf tea and I loved the sweet smell of it. Brewed, I found it to be quite unpleasantly vegetal. I’ve tried with an assortment of brewing temps and times, but nothing makes me like this tea. Nothing. It’s so sad.

this herbal has a wonderful flowery and nutty aroma – but the taste, in my first two cups of this, doesnt seem to live up to its beautiful smell. am i brewing this wrong? should i be brewing more or less? in boiling or under-boiled water? any suggestions welcome. will try again, and re-rate.

re-rate: i tried brewing this twice after this first review, and now finally feel like this infusion makes sense to me. the water should be just under boiling – and, it should be said, this taste infinitely better brewed in a tea pot than in the DavidsTEA linen steeping bags. I feel like they gave the tisane an added “something” that detracted from the simplicity of the mulberry and nut. i like it a lot better now.

A creamy taste, a little sweet, great evening tea (since it’s herbal), tastes great.

I think I’m in the minority here, as I found this to be a very weak, kind of boring tea. I still have about 20g left, so I’ll definitely be trying this one again, but I’m not holding out much hope. What is everyone else tasting? Are my taste buds broken?

I finally tried this one again, as I’m trying to work my way through some of my suddenly immense tea collection. I was not impressed by this at all last time. I actually don’t mind it tonight. It has a light, nutty flavour that’s alright. It reminds me of some nutty white teas I’ve had.

I’m not sure if my tastes have changed over the last few months, or if my tastebuds were off before for some reason, but tonight I’ll enjoy my cup of this. I’m bumping my rating a bit, but not too much until I try it a third time. That’ll be the tie breaker.

I find the name of this tea misleading. It tastes great and the macadamia nut flavour is great. It does have mulberry leaves but the name just makes me think that it will be a berry flavoured tea

I was very surprised by this tea. It smells absolutely delicious before it is brewed, and it brews to a swampy green colour. After about 7 minutes of steeping, it tastes creamy, smooth, and nutty. I found the tea flavourful and satisfying. It certainly did curb hunger and the cravings I have had for carbohydrate rich meals. I highly recommend this tea to anyone looking for a rich tea to drink any time of day.

This tea is surprising. It smells and tastes like cake. I like it really much!

Like someone else said, this is absolutely like cake batter. I was so surprised! Mulberry leaves = cake batter?? Huh.

I’m gonna be honest with you MM, you know I love you but… I wish you tasted as good as you smelled. Yeah you taste great but you smell REALLY great. I just feel like you could do better. And sometimes there’s a little bit of bitter weirdness in the background when I take a sip of you. Hey, don’t look so sad. I would still gladly take a cup of you every morning. You know you’re the only mulberry tea for me.

Yummay! I love Mulberry Magic. The only thing deterring me from purchasing a lifetime supply is the price :-(
But GOD I love this tea. Best tea to drink when I’m hungry. Tastes like the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies from Starbucks, minus the 500 calories that accompanies this morsel of delight. So much comfort in one cup. I can just see myself handing a cup of this to the next crying girl I come across.
All I can say is, it’s YUMMA!
I’m as excited about this tea as this little girl is about blueberries:

I still love this tea, but have discovered that the secret to its infusion is by using tea bags, rather than an infuser that lets the leaves open up. I know all those things about surface area, resteeping, blah blah but this one tastes best when confined :-) Only then will you get the taste of vanilla cupcake!

Upon hearing that it was a favourite among the DAVIDsTEA employees, I decided to give it a try. Boy was I wrong. I really did not like the taste of this tea at all. I felt like I was drinking spinach :(

I loved this one with my first cup but as time goes on I’m falling out of love with it :s It tastes a bit like rich pie crust but there is some “other” quality to it underneath that just tastes off to me, presumably the mulberry leaves. It is very minor but its there. Maybe because it tastes close enough to tea that I don’t mentally recognize it as “other” so it just seems off or slightly “weedy”?
Still a nice cup though, just would’t buy more than 50g next time ;)

I think this tea works well for after-dinner; it’s got the nutty sweetness of macadamia nuts, mixed in with the earthy, rich tones of the mulberry leaves. My only regret is that steeping it longer doesn’t seem to bring out more of the rich mulberry taste, but otherwise, great! Apparently it only comes around once a year, so I’ll have to stock up!

Smells delicious and tastes great! A little mild to my tastes but good if I just want a cup to warm myself up.

This tea is DELICIOUS!!!! I just purchased my very first tin and am currently enjoying my very first cup.
