↑About Young Hyson
The name "young hyson" is sometimes used interchangeably with chun mee. Chun mee is the highest and most well-known grade of young hyson. The lower grades of young hyson tea, as well as the other types of hyson tea besides young hyson, are infrequently available under their own name in the U.S. market: when they are sold or used in blends, they tend not to be identified.
Young hyson and chun mee are now produced in many Chinese provinces other than Anhui, and are even produced outside of China.

Brewed, this...
The aroma of this tea is mild with notes of artichoke, citrus, and grapes. The brewed tea is more like vegetation than vegetal and the liquid is very mild with delicate vegetation notes.
The taste is nothing spectacular, it is not a bad tea but it does not make me jump for joy. Mixing mild vegetal, bitter greens, a...
Organic Tender Tip Country Green (Organic Chunmee Green) from Foojoy
Style: Chun Mee – Region: ChinaOct. 18th, 2013
This was my first loose tea from Foojoy, and I was rather pleased. A good solid green that is both inexpensive and has good flavor. Although I had seen Foojoy loose teas in their tins at my local Asian market, I had never tried any since I was not ready to take a chance on about $9.50 for 8 ounces; a very good price, b...
