A special varietal grown in the highlands of Simao and picked in the very earliest stages of growth. "Cui Ming" means "Emerald Bright" and is an apt name for this bright green and silver-white tea. The tea is quite uniform in size and color and is carefully hand-picked and processed. It is only very lightly oxidized and brews up a bright emerald colored tea soup. The aroma has hints of green chestnut and fruit. The taste is sweet and pungently active in the mouth. An incredibly tasty tea! Middle to Late February Harvest Ning'Er County of Simao (Pu'er)
