Gynostemma Pentaphyllum - Jiao Gu Lan
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum - Jiao Gu Lan
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, also known as Jiao Gu Lan or Jiaogulan, is a traditional leafy herbal infusion appreciated in East Asian tea culture for its smooth, balanced and refreshing character. Made with Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaves, it offers a clean botanical cup with gentle sweetness and a distinctive herbal finish.
The infusion is light, smooth and slightly sweet, with a fresh green herbal profile and a calm, grounding feel. Its clean taste makes it easy to enjoy on its own as part of a simple daily herbal tea routine, especially for those who prefer botanical infusions without strong bitterness or heavy floral notes.
Gynostemma has long been valued in traditional East Asian herbal routines and is sometimes referred to in folklore as the “Herb of Immortality”. It is also commonly described as an adaptogenic herb in modern herbal traditions. The leaves naturally contain plant saponins, often called gypenosides, and are commonly chosen by herbal tea drinkers looking for a simple, caffeine-free botanical cup for quiet everyday moments.
