Jiaogulan Gynostemma Pentaphyllum

Wake up & go to bed with Gynostemma: Jiaogulan Gynostemma is one of Asia's most well-researched herbs. It supports almost every major system within the body and is true Yin/Yang balanced herb meaning it has a relaxing and energising action dependent upon the body's need

Morning Upgrade: Start the day with Jiaogulan to energise & strengthen without stressing your adrenals. Jiaogulan tea is naturally caffeine-free and has an uplifting bittersweet refreshing taste making it the perfect drink for first thing in the morning

Wind-down ritual: As a dual-adaptogen, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Jiaogulan has a biphasic effect on the body. As a dual adaptogen, Jiaogulan acts like a thermostat. When you're ready to relax, Jiaogulan dials down the systems that have been (over) active during the day to ease stresses & help you let go of work. Also very helpful for shift workers when your body clock runs contrary to the body's natural circadian rhythms

Key Jiaogulan benefits: Jiaogulan is a naturally detoxifying and energising tonic herb. Well-researched for weight loss and known to regulate Nitric Oxide for improved heart, brain and hormonal health. Gynostemma tea is often recommended for anxious, agitated people with hypertension and stress headaches

Wonderful for women: Jiaogulan contains an abundance of Gypenosides - a neuroprotective, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic compound. Gypenosides are very similiar to Ginsenosides found in Panax Ginseng yet Gynostemma typically has over three times as many of the active compounds as Ginseng. Gynostemma is often endearingly referred to as "Womens Ginseng" as it is much kinder on a woman's body than Asian Ginseng and can be taken for extended periods by both men and women

How to make the perfect cup of Jiaogulan

Allow freshly boiled water to cool to approx 75'C. In an in-cup infuser or teapot use 0.5 - 1 tsp of tea leaves per cup and let the leaves steep for 3-4 minutesStrain the leaves and avoid over-steeping. Crushing the leaves or stirring to achieve a quicker infusion may release some of the tea's more bitter-tasting compoundsThe leaves can be re-used up to 3 times. Let the leaves steep a little longer in each subsequent brewing to achieve your desired taste
