Chun Mee 珍眉绿茶 (Zhēn Méi Lǜ Chá) - 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.
