Longevity Trio—Jiaogulan, Goji Berry, and Chyrsanthemum Flowers—(2.5oz)

Jiaogulan is a traditional Chinese herb that has been used for centuries for its numerous health benefits. It is known by many names, including the immortality herb and poor man’s ginseng. Its latin name is gynostemma. It is an adaptogenic herb considered to be a promoter of overall health and longevity. You can look it up online for specifics in that regard. I like the way it makes me feel, a grounding and relaxing addition to my bevy of beverages. 

I send the Jiaogulan to you with Goji Berry and Chrysanthemum—keeping all three in their whole form, rather than chopping them up in a blender. You get to mix it yourself.

The Trio includes:

2oz Jiaogulan

1/2oz Goji Berry 

20-25 count Chrysanthemum Flowers (2-3 grams)

Directions:

Start with a liter teapot or jar, add 1-2 tablespoons of Jiaogulan, 2-3 Chrysanthemum flowers, and 3-5 Goji Berries. Water can be 190-200F.

Peddlers Note:

I also add Clouds and Mist or Anji Bai green tea when this is morning drink. And I like to add konbu, kelp, for its hydrating properties.

You can also make the Jiaogulan on its own. It has a strong flavor, so use a small amount of leaves. You can make it with gongfu cha, but I prefer to put a few leaves brewed simply in a cup with a dash of oatmilk.
