Origin: Jiangxi Province

Description: Jiangxi is a land-locked province on the Eastern side of China and is known for the pastoral landscapes and mountainous regions to the West, East and South. It lies in the middle of the Gan River Valley. It has a humid subtropical climate, meaning that winters, though cool, are shorter in duration, with heavy rains during the humid spring and summer. Chun Mee, also known as ‘Precious Eyebrow,’ is processed into small, thin and soft rolled leaves. The delicacy and the fine down on the tea buds lends to the name. It is one of China’s classic green teas.

Tasting Notes: Chun Mee is an attractive green tea that offers a round, well-balanced flavour of dried plums, interwoven with a delicate, light grassy smokiness. Notable astringency during longer steeps. 

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3 minutes. Re-steep.

Certified Organic

Tea cultivation and processing originated in China about 5,000 years ago, and while they carry on a rich and ancient tradition of producing high-quality teas of all styles, their green varieties are truly beyond comparison. The flavour profiles, aromas, and processing techniques from each tea-growing region vary tremendously. Some become silky and smooth, while some become powerful and astringent. Whether for casual daily drinking, or for special moments of ceremony and contemplation, Chinese green teas truly nurture the soul.
The organic teas we import are artisanally farmed and crafted. They may change with each harvest season. The same tea harvested at a different time of year and processed by a different tea maker will vary slightly in flavour and finish.
