Thanks for the detailed answer! Awesome. And yes, to my knowledge green tea is is beneficial for preventing cancer, though the evidence appears to be mixed [https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancer-in-general/treatment/complementary-alternative-therapies/individual-therapies/green-tea]

@Sven -- The selling point of this tea is it contains 硒 (selenium). I haven't read enough research to believe it really can fight cancer, that's why I sounded doubtful in my comment

Can verify, this one is coming from a place near my hometown, pretty good green tea production area.

It is called '浮翠硒茶' (翠眉)

'浮翠' came from idiom '[浮翠流丹](https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%B5%AE%E7%BF%A0%E6%B5%81%E4%B8%B9)' which is used to describe bright colors

'硒茶' means 'selenium tea' (tea that contains selenium)

(翠眉) means 'green tea leaf in shape and size like an eyebrow' , basically means 'loose green tea leaf'

> '浮翠硒茶' (翠眉) = 'Green selenium tea ' (loose green tea leaves)

On the upper right corner it said: '无公害农产品' (Pollution-free agricultural products)

On the upper left corner states the brand name '茅山长寿' (Maoshan Long Life)
