I must admit, this one sat in my cupboard unopened for a bit. I think it’s the word eyebrows. I guarantee that if you say the word eyebrows to me I would never think “hmmm…I need to drink that”. I might think of tweezers or Bert from Sesame Street, but not tea. Well, that is until now…

This must be my first Chun Mee. I heated the water to a sippable (not boiling) temperature and poured a cup as my morning “get ready tea”. I found it to be fruity with a smoky taste that’s obvious but not overwhelming. I liked it but I’d say it would be an occasional morning tea, not something that I’ll have to stop myself from grabbing on a daily basis. I poured the remainder from my teapot into my travel mug and sipped on it until I got to the house, leaving most of the tea in the travel mug until my Dad and I finished about 4 hours of yard work. By the time I got back to the tea, it was cold. Mmmmm…fruity and light, with the smokiness faded into the background, but just present enough to offer a bit of extra dimension to the sip. I feel like the rating will go up with this one the more I drink it. Such a unique taste! Besides, I’m going to enjoy telling people that I’m drinking Tropical Fruit Flavored Precious Eyebrows – that outta get me a bit of extra space on transit.
