This organic Chun Mei green tea is one of the most popular kinds of green teas. It comes from the same plant as black tea (Camellia sinensis), but is less processed so it undergoes less oxidation.
This green tea is specific to the Jiangxi province of Southeastern China where it is known as Chun Mee, which translates to “precious eyebrows.” Chun Mei yields a fruity rather than sweet infusion, with notes of plum and apricot in the perfume.
Chun Mei green tea is packed with antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer.
Chun Mei green tea provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters associated with coffee, thanks to its moderate caffeine content.
The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in Chun Mei can enhance mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function.
