Quality Grades — How to Distinguish
| Attribute | Typical value | Why it matters for tea bags |
|---|---|---|
| Particle size | Uniform fannings, controlled sieve distribution | Consistent dosing weight and fast, even infusion |
| Tea dust content | ≤ 1.5% (contractual) | Avoids dust passing through filter paper and cloudiness |
| Stem content | ≤ 2% | Clean cup, no harsh woody taste |
| Color | Dark greyish green, natural | Indicates proper fixation; dull color = old re-baked tea |
Liquor: bright yellow-green, clear even at long brewing | Aroma: fresh, light chestnut | Taste: strong and brisk; extracts quickly in filter paper
41005 vs 41022: both are Chunmee. 41022 is the whole-leaf eyebrow style sold as loose tea; 41005 is the sieved small-particle grade used as tea-bag raw material. If you fill both loose packs and tea bags, many buyers load both grades in one container.
