✨ Origin & Craftsmanship
This exceptional Zhangjiajie Vine Tea (Tengcha) originates from Luota Township, the historical birthplace of wild vine tea in China. Grown at 1200 meters in deep mountain valleys with quartz-sandstone soil, the tea benefits from clean air, pure spring water, and ideal high-altitude sunlight.
Only tender spring buds are harvested in the early morning and processed through six traditional artisanal steps, naturally forming a visible layer of white enzymatic frost—a hallmark of superior vine tea quality.
