Over 600 years ago in the mountains of Burma, the Karen Hill Tribe people found a remarkable bark that naturally peeled from the trunk of this tall broad leafed tree at the end of each rainy season. So began the craft of making natural paper without destroying or cutting down the tree. The Karen villagers called this The Mulberry Tree. For the last 100 years, Hill tribe paper makers have been practising their craft in neighbouring mountains. They still use natural dyes and lay their paper in the sun to dry as did their ancestors centuries ago. We have a large collection of unique and useful paper products made from this amazing and renewable resource. This has also spawned a thriving cottage industry which helps save and not depletee these tall, beautiful mountain trees. We hope you find these natural 100% Mulberry paper products as beautiful and fascinating as we do.
