Our story begins thousands of years ago in the Wuling Mountains, where the indigenous Tujia people have used vine tea for healing and daily nourishment. Known by many names—Dragon’s Beard Tea, Maoyang Tribute Tea, Moldy Tea, Longevity Grass, and Berry Tea—this herbal infusion was once reserved for tribal chieftains and military generals. Historical records trace its use back to the Book of Songs and Lu Yu’s “The Classic of Tea”, while the Ming and Qing dynasties praised its medicinal power. Today, we carry forward this heritage, offering tea that bridges time-honored tradition with modern science.
Vine tea is derived from the stems and leaves of the Ampelopsis grossedentata plant, a resilient vine from the Vitaceae (grape) family. Thriving in high-altitude forests between 400–1,950 meters, it absorbs the richness of its natural environment—clean mountain air, mineral-rich soil, and abundant spring water. This remarkable plant contains the highest flavonoid content of any known botanical, especially dihydromyricetin, a potent antioxidant.
