Harney & Sons Organic Chun Mee Green Tea

• Toasty meets vegetal: The traditional heating and rolling adds soft toasted notes while keeping the clean, green character that green tea drinkers look for.
• Forgiving to brew: This Chinese green tea handles slightly warmer water than more delicate greens, so it is less likely to turn out harsh when your timing is a little off.
• Single-ingredient simplicity: It is pure green tea, with no added flavorings.
• Rewards a second steep: The leaves open as they hydrate and can be infused more than once.
• Two sizes: The 4 oz. tin suits the pantry shelf or a gift. The 1 lb. bag makes sense if this is your everyday cup.

Use about one teaspoon of leaves per 8 ounces of water heated to roughly 160–180°F. Steep for 2–3 minutes, starting on the shorter side and adjusting to taste, then strain. To cold brew, steep the leaves in cool water for 6–8 hours. Hot water brings out the toasty notes more fully, while cold steeping gives a smoother, softer cup.

Does Harney & Sons Organic Chun Mee Green Tea have caffeine?
Yes. Like all true green tea, it naturally contains caffeine, at a medium level. That makes it a good fit for a morning or afternoon cup.

Can Harney & Sons Organic Chun Mee Green Tea be cold brewed?
Yes. Steep the leaves in cool water for 6–8 hours for a smooth, mellow result. For more of the toasty character, brew it hot instead.

Is Harney & Sons Organic Chun Mee Green Tea the same as matcha green tea?
No. This tea is made of whole loose leaves that you steep and strain. Matcha is green tea ground into a fine powder and whisked directly into water, so the preparation and the cup are quite different.
