What is green tea & mint?

Green mint tea is a delicious mix of pure chun mee and peppermint leaves. Chun mee, which means "precious eyebrows" because of its twisted leaves, is a premium type of green tea from the Camellia Sinensis plant. The leaves are rolled into that unique shape and then pan-fried to neutralise the grassiness and bring out the underlying aroma. They are then mixed proportionately with peppermint leaves to make green mint tea. The resulting blend, which turns light green when brewed, isn’t too strong on the green tea flavour and has just enough mint to lift it all – making it an outstanding drink for any time of day!
