Description

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, also called jiaogulan, is a perennial herb with a climbing habit, of the family Cucurbitaceae.

It grows spontaneously in southeast China, on Mount Fanjing, in a cool-humid climate. In China, the Gynostemma plant has been known and appreciated since the times of the Ming dynasty (1300 BC), so much so that numerous references are found in the texts of the ancient Chinese medical tradition.

Our company has been cultivating this precious plant for several years, immediately managing to cultivate it in the open ground, on our land located in the Fermo countryside.

Our Gynostemma plants are all grown naturally, therefore without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers, in total respect for the environment and man.

Gynostemma leaves are harvested by hand in spring and summer. The leaves are then taken to special ventilated tunnels, in the shade, to be dried. The drying takes place at low temperatures (< 43°), in order to keep the active principles of the plant intact.

Finally the leaves are shredded and packaged and are ready to be used for the preparation of tasty herbal teas, with a pleasant sweet note.
