Here’s another green tea from my Min River sampler pack. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Jade Eyebrow tea before. The leaves of this tea are fairly small and curly. After taking a whiff of the steeped leaves, my immediate associations are that of green beans.
The tea liquor brews up to be a vivid greenish-yellow. The flavor of this tea is very bold and vivid. I’ve been sipping on it a bit and get vegetal tones, brothiness and some citrus flavors in the finish. Something about this seems very nourishing, almost like soup.
When it comes to Chinese green teas, I tend to like the bolder ones and this would definitely qualify. So far I have been very impressed with all of my Min River samples and I would definitely consider buying a full size of this someday. Their teas seem very clean and pure.
Flavors: Green Beans
What an interesting tea name!
very!
Glad you enjoyed it! The farmer told us it was a unique tea of their own creation – it’s a bit of a mix of traditional Sichuanese green tea processing techniques and they chose the name themselves. In Chinese it’s Qing Mei (青眉) which literally translates to “Green/Jade Eyebrow”.
