Whenever I see the word Mulberry I think of the Dr. Suess story, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”. Perhaps the town is known for its Mulberry festivals. They take the leaves and dry them, releasing a wonderful slightly sweet scent into the air. It is reminiscent of other berries but the townsfolk this sweet smell can only belong to their mulberries. Of course, they juice the berries and make a wonderful variety of pies, ales, cookies, etc but the thing that really gets them excited is the tisane. (Oh my gosh don’t get me started with tisane, herbal tea, herbal infusion AHHH). The main flavor is roasty that dances with mulberry notes. The wet aroma is unique, somewhat sweet but also a mishmash of flavors. And a very smooth mouthfeel.

We had a mulberry tree at our former residence, but at the time, we considered it an annoyance because of the birds that would, um, recycle them on our vehicles. Now I wish I had taken advantage of the berries.
References to Dr. Seuss always make me smile. “Bartholomew and the Oobleck” was one of my childhood favorites…I had an audio version on vinyl with a scratch where the king’s magicians were oobleck-ing, so I got to hear that part over and over and over and over…
