Chun Mee

Green Tea by Tea Leaves

Traditional, very well-known China green tea. Due to its shape, connoisseurs affectionately call this tea `precious eyebrow’. Original flavour, mild and slightly acrid.

An organic Chun Mee in the morning at work. Not the best tasting tea, somewhat acrid and not much taste beyond that.

This produces a liquor that’s a lot darker than many other green teas, and a medium brown in colour rather than yellow. Has an astringent note to it that left an aftertaste that I wasn’t too keen on. I think next time I’ll try it at a slightly lower temperature and with a shorter steeping time than is recommended on the tin and see if I like it better.
