Jasmine Chunmee

Buena Vida Tea Jasmine Chunmee comes from Jiangxi China – the original growers of the most popular tea in China. Chunmee means ‘precious eyebrows’ in Mandarin and this tea derives its name from the shape of the leaf. Once dried and rolled these leaves resemble the perfectly painted eyebrows of porcelain dolls. Our high-grade Jasmine Chunmee has consistently small, rolled tea leaves that are deep jade in color and when paired with the jasmine, create a divine fragrant balance between the sweet floral notes of the flower and the nuttier smoky notes of the tea.

The perfect choice to start your morning, this tea can be brewed as a stronger, more full-bodied experience. When choosing this lovely tea in the afternoon, the tangy and subtly sweet, well balanced and highly fragrant notes pair beautifully with goat cheese, raspberry desserts and almond cakes.

The dry leaves only give a slight hint of what’s to come but once steeped the wet leaves release a smoky smell and create a clear, golden green liquor. The distinct plum finish of this tea will leave a sweet taste in your mouth.
