Chunmee Green Tea – The Precious Tea of Chinese Green Tea

     In the world of Chinese green tea exports, few varieties command the same level of consistent global demand as Chunmee tea, also known as "Precious Eyebrow" or "Zhen Mei." This name is derived from the tea leaves' distinctive curved, slender shape, which resembles the delicate arch of an eyebrow-a visual signature that has made it instantly recognizable across international markets for centuries.

     For B2B buyers and international importers, the Chunmee grading system serves as the essential benchmark for quality and pricing. The industry standardizes these products using specific numbers, with Grade 41022 standing as the highest quality tier, characterized by whole, perfectly rolled, tiny leaves. As you move down the scale from 9371, 9370, to 9367, the leaf consistency decreases, with Grade 9366 generally recognized as the entry-level commercial standard and 9380 often consisting of dust and fanning from processing.
