Product Overview (What Anthocyanin Vine Tea Is)
Premium Purple Bud Anthocyanin Vine Tea (Zijin Meicha) is a rare spring-harvest vine tea grown in the high-altitude mountains of Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China.
This tea is carefully selected from Ampelopsis Grossedentata early spring purple buds harvested only within 15 days before Qingming Festival. The deep purple color indicates exceptionally high anthocyanin concentration — far richer than common white berry tea on the market.
