Organic Chun Mee is a traditional green summer tea from China with a lightly roasted vegetal taste. When John Harney started in the tea trade over 30 years ago, Chun Mee was one of only two green tea offerings from China, along with Gunpowder. Our offerings have greatly expanded since then, yet many people still enjoy Chun Mee's familiar taste.
The roasted vegetal note is exactly what I hoped for—it’s mellow but present, and the leaves hold up well for a second steep. Perfect for a quiet afternoon cup without any bitterness.
This is my second bag and the roasted vegetal flavor is just as steady as the first, which I appreciate for a summer tea. It brews up a nice golden cup that’s easy to drink all afternoon without getting bitter.
The lightly roasted vegetal notes are exactly what I was hoping for—it’s smooth without any bitter edge, even when I steeped it a bit long. This is my new go-to for a calm afternoon cup, and the fact it’s organic makes it feel like a better choice all around.
