Gotu Kola has been valued for centuries across South Asia and the Indian Ocean islands. It appears in ancient texts such as the Shennong Herbal of China, compiled nearly 2,000 years ago, and has long been part of traditions in India and beyond.
This small, leafy plant thrives in tropical regions at sea level up to 1,000 feet. For generations it was used not only as an herb but also as food, eaten fresh or added to daily meals.
Brewed as a tea, Gotu Kola offers a light, green character with soft herbal notes. Mildly grassy with a refreshing finish, it connects you to the long history of a plant still enjoyed in many parts of the world.
