Vine tea, also known as Ampelopsis grossedentata or “Longevity Tea,” is a perennial climbing plant celebrated for its high flavonoid content—earning it the title “King of Flavonoids”. It’s one of the richest known plant sources of these powerful antioxidants, containing 17 essential amino acids, 14 trace minerals, and an array of bioactive compounds.
Naturally caffeine-free, vine tea starts with a mild bitterness that transforms into a pleasant sweetness, offering a fresh aroma and smooth mouthfeel. As a food–medicine dual-purpose herbal tea, it’s suitable for most people, has no known side effects, and can be enjoyed long-term to support immunity, strengthen the body, and promote healthy aging.
