Chun Mee - literally "precious eyebrows tea", the small hand-rolled leaves shaped in the form that resembles eyebrows, also known as Zhen Mei (珍眉) or Chun Mei. This popular Chinese green tea gives a bright green clear infusion and a refreshingly provocative plum-like aftertaste. A brisk green tea from Yellow Mountain, Anhui province of China, well-balanced between sweet and astringent, packed with antioxidants, truly precious as its name stands for.
