An Ode to Chun Mee

Oh Chun Mee how I love thee, let me count the ways!  I have found green tea nirvana.  I found this minx in a local supermarket, and was supposedly purchased from SpecialTeas as # 522.  This tea is smoky and sweet, yet reminiscent of ripe plums.  Not like any other grassy, vegetal, and weak green tea I have ever had.  A lifetime friend for certain.


Update: Due to Special Teas going out of business I have been searching for an alternative Chun Mee.  Upton Tea appears to have a 'Moon Palace' Chun Mee, but I have yet to review it.
