Tenglong Tea

Tenglong Tea

　　Tenglong Tea grows wild in the deep forests at altitudes above 800 meters within the Lichuan region of the Wuyi Mountain Range. It is a rare vine plant. This tea was discovered as early as the time of the ancient Shen Nong, who tasted hundreds of herbs. The Sage of Tea, Lu Yu, classified it in the world’s first tea classic, “The Classic of Tea,” as a vine tea variety characterized by new shoots. In “Herbal Foods,” it is called sweet tea vine, with a taste that is slightly bitter yet sweet, mild, non-toxic, primarily known for regulating the middle energizer, benefiting qi, invigorating blood circulation, clearing various types of heat, relieving irritability, benefiting the five internal organs, treating kidney-related issues, and counteracting toxins from tobacco and alcohol. The “National Chinese Herbal Medicine Dictionary,” published by People's Health Publishing House in 1996, states that this vine has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and can be used to treat icteric hepatitis and wind-heat type colds. Its leaves are used to treat sore throat, diarrhea, constipation, and acute conjunctivitis, among other symptoms. Tenglong Tea is purely wild—it is a treasure in the world of teas and an extraordinary tea with strong medicinal properties.
