What is Chun Mee Green Tea?
Chun Mee, which means “Precious Eyebrows” in Chinese because of its eyebrow-like look. When hand-rolled carefully selected, young leaves at early spring are pan-fired.

Procedure of manufacturing Chun Mee Tea
The process of producing Chun Mee Tea is intricate. It consists of four stages: withering, rolling, fermentation and drying. These are shaped like eyebrows by craftsmen, and we ensure it is organic without artificial additives.
To start the manufacturing process, tea leaves are plucked from the plant named Camellia sinensis. Hand picks only the finest quality standards in a careful way. They are then left under a withering system to wilt, which reduces their moisture content. The next step is rolling; this breaks down more cell walls so that oxidation can take place during fermentation, as outer parts have maximum contact with air.
Also, it releases natural oils of tea, besides flavouring substances being released. Then they undergo a brief period of oxidisation. Required for taste development, before being rolled again, where unique flavors are produced through fermentation.
After which leaves should be completely dried, stopping further chemical reactions from taking place upon exposure to oxygen. While maintaining the original aroma intact. Different methods can be used, such as sun drying or pan firing, depending on conditions.
Finally, when sun-dried or pan-fired until a crispy fragile state is achieved, where one needs to handle them with care, not breaking while shaping into curvy forms resembling eyebrows. This feature among other Chinese green teas is most commonly recognised as “Chun Mee”.
Making it requires a lot of effort, because many skills are involved at different stages. Once finished, it becomes delicious, but also serves as an example that shows how people have perfected their art over centuries. It blends tradition and expertise into excellent products loved by tea connoisseurs all around the world.
