Organic Mullein (Mullum) Tea-
$11.50
"Mullum tea" is a common nickname or shorthand for Mullein leaf tea (Verbascum thapsus), a popular caffeine-free herbal infusion heavily used in traditional medicine. The name is sometimes used interchangeably by wholefoods retailers and local herbalists (particularly in regions like Mullumbimby, Australia).
Flavor and Texture Profile
Taste: It features a mild, deeply earthy, and meadow-like flavor profile. The leaves impart a slightly green, hay-like taste with a very subtle, natural sweetness.
Texture: Because the plant leaves are thick and coated in dense, fuzzy hairs, the brewed liquid has a distinctly smooth, thick, and almost "soft" mouthfeel. This comes from its natural mucilage, which coats and soothes the throat.
Main Uses and Benefits
Respiratory Support: Mullum/Mullein tea is most famous as a traditional remedy for lung and respiratory wellness. It acts as a natural expectorant to help loosen mucus, clear airways, and ease persistent coughs, congestion, asthma, or bronchitis.
Anti-inflammatory & Soothing: It contains active flavonoids and compounds that help calm inflammation in the throat, lungs, and digestive tract.
Important Brewing Note
When preparing loose-leaf mullum tea, you must strain it through a very fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or a paper coffee filter. Because the plant leaves are naturally downy, the tiny, fuzzy leaf hairs will float into the tea and can severely irritate your throat if they are not thoroughly filtered out.
