Description:

Mu (mooo)16 Tea is a beverage prepared from 16 herbs as blended and prepared by the founder of modern day macrobiotics, George Ohsawa. Mr. Ohsawa spent a long period of his life studying classical texts of Oriental medicine including the traditional herbal medicine of China. Each of the 16 herbs has been used in medicinal teas in Asia since ancient times. Mr. Ohsawa combined these into a balanced and bracing blend.
Each of the herbs in Mu 16 offers its own gift, from flavor to healthful qualities. Many herbs become more effective when combined with other herbs and produce an essence that would not be present in any of the herbs alone. By balancing and combining these herbs rather than recommending them separately, Mr. Ohsawa created a tea to enjoy their healthful properties while promoting strength and balance.
