At Aumtea, we do everything we can to preserve the natural potency of Jiaogulan. This includes sun-drying it, heating it at a low temperature to preserve all of its nutrients, sorting out most stems by hand and then gently rolling it. Rolled Jiaogulan preserves the flavor better and allows it to unfold directly in your cup! Our Thailand-grown Jiaogulan tends to be sweeter than Jiaogulan from other regions, with a rich, natural flavor. Aumtea’s Jiaogulan is cultivated without any pesticides or additives. What is hand-picked from the plant is what you sip from your cup, every time. Read more about our Jiaogulan here and in our blog section!

What a great question – it’s hard to decide! If you’re looking to reduce but not totally cut out your caffeine intake, our robust Golden Lily Oolong may be a good choice as it’s mildly caffeinated and also loaded with other health benefits. If you’re leaning towards a delicious, non-caffeinated tisane that’s low on calories, our White Mulberry Leaf Tea might be a good place to start. Finally, our award-winning Jiaogulan tisane is a perfect choice if you’re searching for something really special. In addition to its unique sweet-slightly-bitter flavor, Jiaogulan’s potent compounds can potentially have positive impacts on overall health, stress and energy levels.

We always recommend you start with only 100 grams of any Aumtea product you want to try out. If you’re not immediately connecting with the flavor of your product, we recommend giving yourself about 30 days to settle into the taste of Aumtea. This is especially true if you’re recently trying to make the switch from sugary beverages, as the tastebuds need more time to recalibrate.
