Ming Mei is also the name of a famous plum tea produced in the Jiangxi Province in China. According to the website of Stash Tea which markets Ming Mei tea, it is recognized as "one of the 30 most famous teas in China. Production of Ming Mei is very limited, as only tender tips and buds are picked by hand and then processed." Additionally, "Ming Mei is produced from Shangmeizhou, a fine tea strain whose fat buds emerge quite late. Great skill is used in the wok firing to achieve the right shape. Temperature, length of time, and hand movements must be well-coordinated. The fine, slim pointed leaf with white tips is likened to a work of art. The infused leaves are light green and tender and very consistent. The clear, golden-green beverage has a fresh mellow and sweet flavor."
