Caffeine Free

Mu Tea

The word Mu has several meanings; it can mean "nothing," or "emptiness," and also "unique." Mu tea was developed by George Ohsawa, based on a traditional Oriental herbal drink for women. It is composed of a combination of 16 plants and wild herbs: Japanese peony root (Paeonia lactiflora), Japanese parsley root, hoelen (Poria cocos), Chinese cinnamon, licorice, peach kernels, ginseng root, Chinese foxglove (Rehmannia glutinosa), ginger root, mandarin peel, Cnidium officinale, Atractylodes, Cyperus, cloves (Eugenia car yophyllata), moutan (Paeonia moutan), and Coptis. Although the drink is a combination of yin and yang ingredients, as a whole it is a yang composition.

Preparation and Use of Mu Tea:

1. Boil the contents of one tea bag (you may open the bag) for 10 minutes in 3 cups of water. 

2. Boil the content of one tea bag in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes (boil for the first 5 minutes, then simmer for 25 minutes). Boil until only 11 cups of tea is left. That is the serving for one person per day. This tea may be reheated.
