This plant in the Cucurbitaceae family has many other names, including "miracle grass", "southern ginseng" and of course its scientific names Gynostemma and Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long used Jiaogulan stems and leaves as medicine. Now, around the world, folks "in the know" enjoy this herbal tea's rich flavor and adaptogenic qualities.

Chinese studies report that Jiaogulan can help lower cholesterol, aid digestion, and promote overall good health. It may also regulate blood pressure, build immunity, help regulate blood sugar, and provide a powerful antioxidant boost. The name “Immortality Herb” originates from the high number of people living into longevity in the region where Jiaogulan comes from.

Brew at about 140° F (lukewarm) for two minutes. This herb packs loads of goodness and flavor alike, so we recommend many subsequent re-steeps of the same leaves. Aficionados agree: there's nothing else quite like it in the tea world.

Owen M. ★★★★★

I was a little unsure about the taste, but the faint spice with that sweet, earthy kick is genuinely calming in the evening. The dried leaves look fresh and vibrant, and brewing them gives a soothing, cucumber-like hint that I’ve come to look forward to.

Andrew ★★★★★

The faint spice note really comes through in the tea—it’s sweet and earthy like licorice but lighter than I expected. I’ve been having a cup mid-afternoon and it’s become a calming little ritual that actually tastes good, not like a chore.

Eva ★★★★☆

The sweet earthiness reminds me of licorice root, and it brews into a surprisingly clear, golden cup. I've been drinking it most evenings for a couple weeks now and the flavor is growing on me, though the faint cucumber edge still catches me off guard sometimes.
