China Chun Mee Tea
The so-called “Precious Eyebrow Tea” is one of the hundreds if not thousands if not millions of different Green Tea types. But where did it all begin? China, of course! And when? 2737 BCE, supposedly! According to legend, the Chinese Emperor of the time, Shennong, had come to rest under an unknown tree, napping in the midday sun with a glass of hot water by his side. When he awoke he found that leaves from the above tree had fallen into his drink and in his fascination, he decided to try the new infusion. The tree above had turned out to be a tea tree while the drink itself had turned out to be, well, delicious. And so a new beverage was born, or so the story goes.
Health benefits: The leaf grade is far superior to ground versions used for tea bags and it is also recognized as being a non-fermented Green Tea, which means it retains most of its beneficial vitamins. And there is more as China Chun Mee Tea can also boost metabolism, helping to burn fat quicker and more efficiently in the body. It can also reduce the risks of developing Type II Diabetes, improve cardiovascular health, enhance cognitive function and offer stress relief.
