Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Jiaogulan or more commonly sweet tea vine, is an important East Asian medicinal plant and a hardy climbing plant also called 5 leaf Ginseng. The tea is said to have a rejuvenating effect, as the number of people over 100 years old in the South China region of Guizhou is much higher than average and they drink Jiaogulan tea there every day! Garden Centre Owner Graham mixes it with mint tea for a refreshing healthy drink. Large plants available from £7.95.
