“In an area of southern China, people are living well past 100 years old. This is what they have in common…

For centuries they have been foraging local forests for Gynostemma and drinking it as a tea, a few times a day. 🍵
The result? These isolated people have better health than people anywhere else in China!
Gynostemma is the unsung hero of herbal teas. This refreshing tea is sweet with bitter notes and a three treasure tonic.
You can drink it any time of the day and it’s safe for all ages! ✨Why Gynostemma is Our Favourite Tea✨ 🌿 Supportive lung tonic (so important in the winter!)

🍵 How to Brew Gynostemma 🍵
.
Boil 2 cups of water and pour over 1-2 tbsp of gynostemma tea in a mug. Steep for 30 seconds to 15 minutes. Experiment with steeping times to find your favourite flavour infusion!

Sweet compounds come out the more tea leaves you use. The longer you steep, the less sweetness you will taste.
