DESCRIPTION
A pale green cup with a soft, faintly sweet, grassy finish. This is gynostemma leaf, known in the mountain villages of southern China as xiancao, or magical grass, and drunk there as casually as water.
Naturally caffeine free, the loose leaf is traditionally used in Chinese herbalism as an adaptogenic tonic that settles and lifts at the same time, which makes it as easy at nine in the evening as at a desk. The 50g jar is a sensible starting point if gynostemma is new to you.
