It is also known as “precious eyebrows” because each leaf is hand rolled into a tiny needle-like shape with a curve in it – like the eyebrow drawn on the face of a porcelain doll. One of China’s most popular green teas, it is high in healthy anti-oxidants and has a light yellow colour and a lingering sweet fragrance. Brewed at the correct temperature, Chun Mee will never taste bitter.

Serving tips:
Take three minutes of time to achieve perfection. Use one teaspoon of tea per person and add freshly drawn water which is just off the boil – around 80 degrees centigrade. Green tea is too delicate for milk.

Style: China green tea – high in anti-oxidants
Enjoy it: anytime – with food or during a little “me time”
