Organic Chunmee Green Premium tea

Organic Chunmee Green Premium Tea is a classic Chinese green tea with a distinctive eyebrow-shaped leaf that gives it its name — “chunmee” translates roughly to “precious eyebrow” in Chinese. This premium grade is handpicked from organic tea gardens in China and offers a flavor profile that has made it one of the most popular Chinese green teas worldwide.

Flavor Profile

Chunmee green tea delivers a smooth, full-bodied cup with a gentle sweetness and subtle smoky undertones. The flavor is brighter and more assertive than Japanese green teas, with a clean finish and no harsh bitterness when brewed correctly. Some drinkers detect light plum or citrus notes in the aftertaste, which contributes to its wide appeal.

How to Brew Chunmee Green Tea

Use one teaspoon of tea per 8 ounces of water heated to 175°F (80°C). Steep for 2 to 3 minutes for a delicate cup, or up to 4 minutes for a stronger brew. Avoid boiling water, as it can make green tea taste bitter and astringent. Chunmee leaves can be re-steeped two to three times, with each infusion revealing slightly different flavor notes.

Popular Uses

Chunmee is one of the most widely exported Chinese green teas. Tea brands use it as a standalone single-origin offering, as a base for flavored green tea blends, and in Moroccan-style mint tea preparations. Its assertive flavor holds up well when blended with mint, jasmine, or citrus peels. It is also popular in North African and Middle Eastern tea traditions.
