Northlandtea Organic Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) Tea — 3.52 oz Loose-Leaf, USDA & EU Organic, Caffeine-Free

Northlandtea Organic Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) is a certified USDA & EU organic, caffeine-free loose-leaf herb harvested by Thai family farmers — sold in a 3.52 oz bag.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, commonly called Jiaogulan or “eternal life” herb, has been cultivated in Thailand for generations. This Northlandtea offering arrives as whole loose leaves from smallholder farms, processed to preserve aroma and color. The product is certified organic under both USDA and EU standards, packaged for shelf stability, and presented without added flavors or caffeine.

What does this organic loose-leaf Gynostemma look and taste like?

The dried leaves are whole to lightly broken, medium-green with visible veins and a clean, herbaceous scent. When steeped, the infusion yields a mild, slightly sweet vegetal cup with earthy undertones, suitable hot or cold. The flavor is subtle enough to blend with other herbal blends without overpowering them.

• Loose whole and partial leaves preserved for aroma
• Medium-green infusion with clear appearance
• Mild, slightly sweet herbal taste with earthy notes
• Works well in single-origin brews or mixed herbal blends

How should I brew Northlandtea Gynostemma for best results?

Use filtered water just below boiling (around 90–95°C / 194–203°F) and steep for 3–6 minutes depending on strength preference. Try 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per 8-ounce cup, or increase quantity for a stronger pot. Leaves can tolerate multiple infusions; simply extend steeping time on subsequent brews.

• Water temperature: 90–95°C (194–203°F)
