Origins
The dried leaves of jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) were first widely used by people in China. It was there that the climbing herb originally grew. Botanists place it in the gourd family (with the loofah, cucumber or gourd). It is a plant that can survive very low temperatures, which are not uncommon in the mountainous regions of southern China, Japan or Thailand. There, it has an excellent reputation and is one of the most widely used herbs. Jiaogulan is certainly not to be overlooked. It grows up to 150cm, has very distinctive green, toothed leaves and blooms with white flowers.
The leaves of this popular herb are usually harvested whole, but farmers remove most of the stems. The material is finely cut and dried under very strict conditions. The result is tiny green curls, as in the case of this tea. Another processing option is to roll the leaves into small balls.
Regular and long-term sipping of jiaogulan tea brings positive effects in many ways. It can also become a pleasant ritual in stressful times. Like green teas, jiaogulan can be prepared in many ways. The classic way is by pouring hot water over the leaves, making a second infusion, cooling the infusion in the refrigerator or using the Kung Fu Cha method.
