Origin and traditional application

Jiaogulan grows naturally in mountainous regions of southern China, Thailand, and Japan. There, this vine twines its way up shrubs and trees in a humid and mountainous climate. For centuries, this herb has been known as "the herb of immortality" in villages where people live to a remarkably old age. The local population traditionally used the leaves as a daily herbal tea for a balanced life.

Jiaogulan Classic is the best-selling Jiaogulan. In addition to this variety, we also sell two other products made from the dried leaves of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum:
• Jiaogulan Makino
• Jiaogulan Anhui

What is the difference? The three Jiaogulan varieties originate from different regions of Hunan province in China. Hunan is a large province—approximately 2.5 times the size of the Netherlands. Because the climate and the plant's growing conditions influence the aroma, nuances emerge in the taste: the Jiaogulan 'Makino' has a sweet aroma, 'Anhui' a more bitter aroma, and the 'Classic' falls somewhere in between.

Enrich the taste of Jiaogulan

• With licorice: Jiaogulan pairs well with licorice, which can enhance the sweet flavor.
• With green tea: It can also be combined with green tea, making the flavor somewhat more complex.
• With mint: Mint can be a refreshing addition to the flavor of Jiaogulan.
