How do you brew jiaogulan tea?
Jiaogulan has been part of traditional Chinese practice for centuries, and in parts of China it is an everyday tea. Our bag holds one thing, jiaogulan leaves, at 2 g a serving. Pour 8 oz of just boiled water over a teaspoon of leaves, steep for 3 minutes and drink it hot, or let it cool and pour it over ice. The same leaves will give you a second cup, and often a third.

How people use it
Bring 8 oz of fresh water to a boil and pour it over 1 teaspoon of leaves in an infuser or sachet. Steep for 3 minutes, or longer if you like it stronger, then drink it hot or over ice. It tastes light and herbal with a hint of sweetness, and it goes well with honey, lemon, stevia or mint. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place.
Fun fact: Jiaogulan is nicknamed southern ginseng, but it is not a ginseng at all. It is a climbing vine in the cucumber family, and its leaves usually grow in groups of five, which is what pentaphyllum means.
