Wild Sweet Tea from Snow Peak Mountain

Wild Sweet Tea from Snow Peak Mountain

　　　    The Snow Peak Mountain area in Hunan is a magical, pollution-free oasis praised by the World Health Organization of the United Nations. It is abundant in wild sweet tea, a natural woody plant belonging to the Fagaceae family, with over 80,000 acres of wild growth area and an annual production of 16 million tons of fresh leaves (over 400 tons of dried leaves). Wild sweet tea is a rare wild resource—sweet, delicious, mild in nature and sweet in flavor. It clears heat, promotes diuresis, protects the liver, nourishes the kidneys, and combines the benefits of both food and medicine. Its main component is flavonoids, which offer “three anti” effects (anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, and anti-allergy) and “three lower” effects (lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids). Tested by the provincial health and food authorities and through liver protection experiments, this tea is non-toxic and has no side effects. Its physicochemical indicators meet domestic regulations and reach international standards. It has been identified as a new domestic product by the provincial science and technology information department and certified as a qualified product by the municipal quality and technical supervision department. Local villagers often pick and drink this tea, resulting in enhanced immunity and a higher average lifespan, with the province’s highest number of centenarians.
