DESCRIPTION

Households that empty a teapot a day tend to outgrow a small jar quickly. The 100g bag holds double the leaf, ready to decant into a canister and keep within arm's reach of the kettle.

Grown Di Dao in the traditional herb regions of China, gynostemma is a caffeine free herb traditionally used in Chinese herbalism to support balance and steady energy. Its knack is being calming and enlivening at once, so a pot can carry from the morning desk through to the evening wind down.

Instructions

Steep 3 g of loose leaf (approximately 2 teaspoons) in hot water. SuperFeast suggests taking it twice daily. Brew in a pot or infuser and strain before drinking; it can also be brewed in a larger batch and sipped through the day.

Water temperature and steeping time are not specified by the manufacturer, so follow the directions on the pack. Once opened, keep the bag sealed or decant into an airtight container to protect the leaf.

SuperFeast describes gynostemma as generally considered safe, and recommends speaking with a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner or health professional if you are unsure whether it is right for you. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. If you are taking medication or under medical care, speak with a healthcare professional before use.
