Origin
Chun Mee, meaning “precious eyebrow” in Chinese, is produced in the Jiangxi province of China.
The tea leaves are hand-rolled into their signature eyebrow shape and pan-fired to preserve freshness and enhance their brisk, slightly sour taste.
This method, rooted in centuries-old Chinese tea craftsmanship, results in a robust yet smooth green tea experience.
Grown in highland regions and harvested early in the season, our organic version is carefully cultivated using sustainable and pesticide-free methods.
