Jiao Gu Lan

China's "Immortality" herb.  Research studies have shown extraordinary therapeutic qualities for this little-known herb.  Some of the known benefits are:

• Antioxidant protection
• Beneficial to cardiovascular health
• Moderates cholesterol levels
• Enhances strength and physical endurance
• Bolsters the immune system, and
• Has tumor inhibiting properties.

Some Jiao Gu Lan is bitter depending on the area of cultivation; ours is naturally sweet, so very little if any sweetener is needed.  We have a great source for this herb and tests have shown it to easily pass EU standards.

Use 1 rounded teaspoon (3g) dry leaves for every 6 ounces of spring water heated to 195°-205°F, steeping 3-4 minutes.  Add fresh hot water to the pot and increase the water temperature and steeping time slightly for each subsequent infusion.  Repeat until the flavor begins to fade.
