A Rare Herbal Tea from the Misty Mountains of Zhangjiajie
Known as the “King of Flavonoids” and the “Gospel of the Throat,” Tujia Berry Tea (also called Mao Yan Mei or vine tea) is a unique herbal infusion native to the high-altitude mountains of Zhangjiajie, Hunan.
Hand-harvested by the Tujia people, this tea is crafted from tender bud tips of wild Ampelopsis grossedentata, prized for its naturally high flavonoid content and its distinctive frosted appearance.
