Description
Yerba Mate is an evergreen tree growing wild near streams of South American rainforests. Its broadly toothed, leathery large leaves alternate on graceful branches with white flowers that produce small yellow, red, or black berries. It has a long history being the traditional drink of health and hospitality of the South American peoples.
A native Australian evergreen rainforest tree, lemon myrtle, emits a crisp lemon scent from its large flat leaves. In summer and autumn the tree teems with nectar-rich yellow flowers. For hundreds of years Aborigines have used lemon myrtle leaves as tea, or eaten from the plant, as arthritis treatment.
Chun Mee Green Tea translates to "silver eyebrows" and describes the shape of the carefully hand-rolled leaves. Chun Mee is known for its smooth, plum-like sweetness. (Refer to "Tea-The Longevity Beverage" for health benefits on green tea.)
