Traditional Japanese tea for a key addition to your weight loss regimen.

Mulberry leaves are the only known source of a compound called DNJ (1-Deoxynojirimycin), which inhibits absorption of sugars in foods we consume by blocking a key enzyme called Alpha-glucosidase.
With this enzyme blocked, most of the sugar from carbs we eat pass through intestines without being absorbed.
Typical usage is one cup 20-30 minutes before a meal.
This tea is prepared from freshly-picked leaves, which are not crushed, but cut in strips in traditional Japanese Tanzaku-giri (短冊きり) style. See picture in gallery.
Crushed leaves are many times more prone to oxidation along their edges. Tanzaku-giri ensures that the leaves are as close to their natural form as possible, at the same time minimizing oxygen exposure.
✓ Pesticide-free
