When I read through the TeaFrog listing, I had to have this tea. I don’t really know why, but a pan fried green tea translating to “precious eyebrows” seemed intriguing. Overall, the tea is delicious. I used a little more for my standard pot than I normally would. I brewed for two minutes, hot with no additives.
The dried leaves are small, dark and curly, this is from the pan frying. The brewed tea has all of the attributes of typical green with a bonus. The aroma is vegetal with a little toast to it, the liquor is a pale brown color, the taste is similar to Dragonwell, it is definitely vegetal, but it is smooth and not bitter, I have the feeling if oversteeped it would get bitter, but right now it is not. Finally, the tea finishes with a sweet aftertaste. Absolutely fantastic.

Yes, oversteeped chun mee does have a tendency to get devilishly bitter. I agree with everything here, I’ve been rather enjoying my own. :)
The Tea Farm uses this as a base for, at least some, of their flavored greens.
I have to try more chun mee teas, they are fantastic. Also, I would love to order from The Tea Farm, as in I really want to try the Pineapple Green, but I have to deplete my current selection first :)
Maybe if you ask Ricky nicely:)

Haha, oh hi! I’d be happy to share =]
I was getting the same feeling → Chun Mee tastes like Dragonwell
I’d love to share, get a swap or a traveling situation going :)
I only recently got my hands on a dragonwell. I didn’t recognise the similarities. Now I’m going to have to do a test and compare! :D
