Xiushan Honeysuckle is a geographical indication agricultural product.

　　Honeysuckle belongs to the Caprifoliaceae family and is a perennial semi-evergreen woody vine plant. It gets its name because the flowers are initially white when they first bloom, gradually turning yellow after 1-2 days, creating a striking contrast between the yellow and white hues.

　　Honeysuckle is a traditional and highly valued medicinal herb in China, occupying an extremely important position among Chinese herbal medicines and health products. Since 659 AD, honeysuckle has been regarded as one of the most important Chinese herbs. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and blood pressure-lowering properties, and is commonly used for treatments related to clearing heat and detoxifying. When brewed as tea, it has a bright color, fragrant aroma, and a refreshing taste, offering benefits such as clearing heat and toxins, improving vision and moisturizing the lungs, protecting the liver, resisting aging, and enhancing immunity.

　　Introduction to Xiushan Honeysuckle

　　Four characteristics: abundant, high-quality, fragrant, and vibrant green

　　The first characteristic: abundance. Unlike the twin-flower honeysuckle from other regions, Xiushan honeysuckle features densely clustered flower heads, neat and green flower buds, extremely high yield, and low labor costs.

　　The second characteristic: high quality. Xiushan honeysuckle has high and evenly distributed medicinal components. Its chlorogenic acid content ranges from 7.5% to 12.5%, the highest among similar products nationwide. In addition, Xiushan honeysuckle also contains antioxidants such as flavonoids, as well as selenium, proteins, vitamins, various compounds, and trace elements, showing significant effects on fitness and beauty.

　　The third characteristic: fragrance. When Xiushan honeysuckle is brewed as tea, the cup displays a touch of emerald green, with wisps of steam carrying warmth. Sipping the tea reveals a slight sweetness on the tip of the tongue, with lingering fragrance in the mouth, delivering an indescribable sense of pleasure.

　　The fourth characteristic: vibrant green. When brewing Xiushan honeysuckle tea, the flower buds hang upside down without falling, and the tea gradually darkens in color. The upside-down orientation of the large bud ends indicates a high proportion of medicinal parts, while the transparent emerald-green tea color signifies a high chlorogenic acid content in the buds, ensuring that the effective components are well preserved.

　　Quality Assurance

　　Our honeysuckle is a green product. It is harvested from the picturesque and naturally unpolluted Wuling Mountain area. No chemical pesticides, including herbicides and chemical fertilizers, have ever been used. The main honeysuckle products have obtained QS certification, and the vast majority have been rated as "pollution-free agricultural products" and "green food."

　　In recent years, organic agriculture in Xiushan County has grown rapidly, with more and more honeysuckle planting bases and farmers obtaining organic product certifications. To ensure strict compliance with these certification standards, the government has strengthened the development of quality standard systems and product quality inspection systems for honeysuckle production. In 2010, Xiushan County was awarded the title of "Chongqing Pollution-Free Honeysuckle Production County" by the municipal government.
