How long is the shelf life of Jiaogulan

Nowadays, people's living standards have greatly improved, and they pay great attention to their daily health preservation. There are many things that have health-preserving effects, such as Gynostemma pentaphyllum, which is a typical one, and its functions and effects are recognized. Since Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a relatively expensive item, many people are concerned about its shelf life when purchasing it. So, how long is the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Wild Gynostemma pentaphyllum grows under mountain forests, beside ditches, and in wet places in valleys. It likes shaded environment, with upper layer coverage of about 50%-80%, good ventilation and light transmission, and sandy land, sandy loam or rubble rich in humus loam. It can grow in neutral, slightly acidic or slightly alkaline soil.

It grows in dense forests in valleys at an altitude of 300-3200 meters, sparse forests on hillsides, bushes or roadside grass.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum has different qualities. Among them, the quality of Gynostemma leaf tea and Gynostemma dragon ball tea is lower than that of Gynostemma dragon beard tea. Generally, Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea can be stored for 18 months at room temperature. If the temperature is lower (0 degrees ~ 5 degrees), the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum will be longer, so it is best to store Gynostemma pentaphyllum in a cool and dark place. In professional preservation equipment, the shelf life of Gynostemma tea can be up to two years, and its efficacy and taste will not be affected. Gynostemma pentaphyllum that has exceeded its shelf life will become slightly yellowish and dry. After being brewed with boiling water, the color will turn red, and it will taste dry and even have a sour and rancid taste. Therefore, consumers must check the production date when purchasing Gynostemma tea. If convenient, it is best to taste it to avoid buying expired Gynostemma tea.

Under the same storage conditions, the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum of different qualities is different. High-quality Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea has a longer shelf life than ordinary Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea. Tianweiran Gynostemma tea, which is made from the tender buds and tender roots of Pingli's high-quality Gynostemma pentaphyllum, has a very fine processing technology. It goes through multiple procedures such as steaming, withering, and drying. Not only does it not add any chemical agents, but it also removes the moisture contained in the original Gynostemma pentaphyllum to the maximum extent. The resulting Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea has a relatively strong antioxidant effect, so it has a relatively long shelf life. It can be stored for three years in a low temperature and dark place without changing its color, taste, and efficacy.

I think everyone should be clear about the shelf life of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Because Gynostemma pentaphyllum has been sought after by many people in recent years, its price has also been inflated. There will definitely be some merchants who sell inferior products as good ones. When making a purchase, you must make sure to clarify the details in this regard. In addition, pay attention to the usual storage method.
