| Comments: | Oops – looking at n-grams, instead of the “Google result count” (which is an estimate based on commonality of constituents), I see that 銘茶 is much more common than 名茶. (Revising my earlier edit!) 名茶 isn’t really non-standard (compare 銘酒・名酒), but it’s much less common. (Recently saw on tea bag, for the zillionth time.) Also add [expl] to the long gloss. |

| Refs: | All dicts give 銘茶 (and not 名茶), but 名茶 is much more common in practice: 5m+ vs. 1m+ Google. |

| Comments: | * Add alt. spelling 名茶 * Add more wording/glosses * …and remove “refined tea”, which is a bit misleading – it’s “high-quality” (which “refined” can sometimes mean, though that’s a bit British posh-sounding to my ear), but hasn’t been processed/refined, which is a potential misunderstanding |
