"Snow tea is a lichen plant of Theaceae. Shaped like a hollow grass bud, 30 to 70 mm long and 1 to 3 mm thick. Very light in weight, shaped like chrysanthemum petals, white as snow, hence the name. Lijiang snow tea grows in the alpine moss zone in the snow area above 4000 meters above sea level, which is natural and wild and cannot be cultivated artificially. Lijiang snow tea is cool and sweet. Rich in chacha acid, pangolin acid, crotonic acid, mannitol, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements. It is a safe and non-toxic drink after drug inspection. "

Tea is made of buds and leaves of trees and shrubs, but snow tea belonging to lichens does not belong to this category, just like fruit tea is also tea, but it is not what we call tea in the traditional sense, so snow tea is neither black tea nor green tea.
