What Is Vine Tea?
Vine Tea (scientific name: Ampelopsis grossedentata) is a perennial climbing plant in the grape family.
Also known as “Shen Xian Cao” (Immortal Herb) and praised as the “King of Teas,” vine tea is traditionally consumed by Tujia mountain communities.
Its key active components are flavonoids, especially dihydromyricetin. The dried leaves naturally develop a white frost layer, which is crystallized flavonoids — a sign of high concentration.
Unlike traditional tea:
-
Contains no caffeine
-
Contains no tannins
-
Does not disturb sleep
-
Can be brewed overnight without souring
