Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as ginkgo or gingko (both pronounced /????ko?/), also known as the maidenhair tree, is a species of tree native to China.
It is the only living species in the order Ginkgoales, which first appeared over 290 million years ago.
Fossils very similar to the living species, belonging to the genus Ginkgo, extend back to the Middle Jurassic approximately 170 million years ago.
The tree is widely cultivated, and was cultivated early in human history.
The leaves are unique among seed plants, being fan-shaped with veins radiating out into the leaf blade, sometimes bifurcating (splitting), but never anastomosing to form a network.
Two veins enter the leaf blade at the base and fork repeatedly in two; this is known as dichotomous venation. The leaves are usually 510 cm (24 in), but sometimes up to 15 cm (6 in) long.
How to make the tea-
Keep the Teabags at room temperature in dark and dry places.
1. Pour boiling water in a cup or mug.
2. Steep the teabag in water for 5 - 15 minutes.
3. Remove teabag(s) and the tea can be served hot or cold.
Enjoy!!
**One teabag can be used for 2-3 times
**For a delicious change, try it with honey, or your favorite sweetener.
