Raspberry tea is named because its appearance looks like mold.
Raspberry tea, also called Maoyanberry, scientifically called Vitiligo vitis, is a plant of the genus Vitiligo in the family Glucose. It is a wild vine and a typical plant. Because there is a layer of natural white plant frost on the surface, it was originally called "mold tea". Therefore, it is not a tea in the traditional sense. Like Kuding tea, it is a non-tea.
In fact, the name "Maoyanberry" was renamed. Because the name of the toothed snake grape is inelegant and unpleasant to say, it was renamed "Maoyanberry" according to the plant naming rules. However, the "mold" on the rain head is unsightly, and in the plant world, only the Rosaceae and Vitaceae can use strawberry "berries", which were eventually named "Maoyan berries" and are collectively known as berry tea.
Tips for selecting raspberry tea
1. Locate the place of origin. The birthplace of Zhangjiajie raspberry tea is Luotaping Town, Yongding District. The altitude and climate there are most suitable for the growth of raspberry tea. Yes, wild berry tea also grew here in the past.
2. Look for the manufacturer and try to choose a store with quality certification. The berry tea sold in such stores does not use fertilizers or pesticides. These manufacturers are subject to random inspections by the Hunan Provincial Market Supervision Administration. , if the indicators of pesticide residues do not meet the standards, heavy fines will be imposed. We will not destroy the entire factory for this benefit.
3. Don’t choose one with a price that is too low. There must be a reason for the low price. Whether you are giving it as a gift or drinking it yourself, it is recommended to buy it in cans. It will not be easily crushed during transportation and is convenient for storage.
4. It is best not to buy Qingming tea for raspberry tea, because there is a lot of rain in April, the flavor of raspberry tea is very light, and the price is also expensive at that time.
