Known as ‘Precious Eyebrows’ in China, this smooth and subtle green tea is known for its delicately rolled and shaped leaves, flavour notes of plum and florals.
Translated to precious eyebrows, this green tea is full flavoured with fruity tones and aftertaste.
To create the shape of the tea for a Chun Mee tea, leaves are hand plucked and processed immediately to stop the oxidation process by withering and then steaming to maintain a green leaf. Leaves are then fired and hand rolled to create the signature eyebrow shape.
Chun Mee has been a staple of tea drinking in China, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, and is one of the most popular to date.
