Chunmee Special Grade

"Yu-tsien" or "before the rains" tea is always the finest and this yu-tsien chun mee-cha definitely supports that theory. Chun Mee-cha (eyebrow tea) gets its name from the curve of the processed leaf. It was thought, when viewing the beautifully shaped leaf, that it resembled that of a woman's finely formed eyebrow -- as opposed to an older man's bristly brow. Great skill is required to produce this very high-quality green. Temperature, hand movements and timing must be perfect. The fine eyebrow-shaped leaves produce a clear, yellow-greenish brew with a distinctive sweet, plum-like flavor.

The brew with its plum-like flavour and lingering fragrance is delightful. To be shared amongst friends or alone in the afternoon when you need a little pick me up.

To Prepare
Chunmee Special Grade is best when brewed with spring water at a temperature of 180° for 3 to 4 minutes. Use one rounded teaspoon for every 6 to 8 ounces. You can expect this tea to sustain itself for multiple infusions.

This classic tea is packaged in our triple insulated gold package.
