Jiaogulan tea originally came from the southern region of China. It first caught the attention of the west after a study was made with regards to the health of the people living in China. Researchers found that many people who live in villages where the tea was consumed lived longer than people in other parts of the country. It is common for people in those villages to live more than a hundred years.
Jiaogulan tea comes from gynostemma, or gynostemma pentaphyllum. The plant has been the subject of more than 40 scientific studies, which have looked at its traditional adaptogenic and antioxidant properties.
One of the finest jiaogulan teas on the market today is the White Lotus gynostemma tea. It is produced from the highest quality jiaogulan available. The traditional way to drink jiaogulan tea is as a loose leaf tea. Practitioners say that this is the best way to get the most from the tea.
By using pyramid tea bags, you are able to replicate the effect of drinking loose leaf tea. Pyramid tea bags allow larger tea leaves to infuse with the water. Flat tea bags can only accommodate low grade tea leaves. To ensure the freshness of the tea leaves, the bags are sealed inside a tin container rather than cardboard. This is important to preserve the freshness and flavour of the tea leaves.
Jiaogulan tea is sweet, unlike other herbal teas that have an unpalatable and bitter taste. It also contains no caffeine. When you buy jiaogulan tea, each tin comes with 15 pyramid tea bags.
