People with heart disease can generally drink mulberry leaf tea, but they should consume it in moderation and avoid drinking too much at once to prevent increased gastrointestinal burden. Mulberry leaf tea can help lower blood pressure and blood lipids, and has anti-atherosclerotic effects, offering certain health benefits. However, mulberry leaf tea tends to be quite bitter, so it's advisable not to use too much when brewing.
