Spring Dragon Longevity Tea is a very special tea, unlike
any other tea on the market. It is actually a classical form of
an elixir that in China was literally called a “longevity tea.”
Spring Dragon Longevity Tea has one main “bulk” or “raw”
herb, Gynostemma leaf, plus 5 tonic herb extracts.
Five premier tonic herbs have been optimally extracted

by “coincidence,” Ron had a photocopied article written than other herbal teas that are just blends of chopped herbs.
by Professor Xiao in his travel bag. The article was entitled
“Anti-Aging Chinese Herbs.” Xiao Pei-Gen, as it turned out,
was Director of the Institute of Medicinal Plant Development
in Beijing, a major research institute belonging to the
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He was also head
of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating
Center for Traditional Medicine, Commissioner of the
Committee on Pharmacopeia for the People’s Republic of
China and a Commissioner of New Drug Evaluation for the
PRC. In other words, he was one of the most in uencial and

knowledgeable herbal experts in the world. Because Ron
had his article on the plane, Professor Xiao took Ron under
his wing. When Ron met with Professor Xiao at the institute,
he asked Professor Xiao if he knew of any special tonic

herbs with signi cant anti-aging qualities. Professor Xiao
responded instantly that Gynostemma was exactly what
Ron was looking for. Professor Xiao introduced Ron to the
supplier of the highest quality Gynostemma in China and
Ron was ready to develop a product.
Gynostemma is traditionally consumed as a tea, just like
green tea. It is delicious as well. At the same time, Ron
had come across a special, traditional Chinese method of
brewing “longevity teas” by supersaturating extracted herbs
into tea leaves. Ron decided to use this ancient technology
to supersaturate Gynostemma leaves with a number of other
tonic herbs that had traditional reputations as longevity Kick it up

master who knew the secret of preparing the “longevity by taking
teas.” After experimenting for several months at Yanlin’s your

parents’ home in China, the nal tea was determined and capsules
thus was born Spring Dragon Longevity Tea.*
