In the past, Mei tea products had numerous and inconsistent names, divided into five varieties: Zhenmei, Zhenmei, Xiumei, Gongxi, and Xiamu. Zhenmei was further divided into Chou Xin and Chou Zhen; Chou Xin included Te Zhen and Zhen Zhen; Zhenmei had primary and secondary grades, with the primary called Te Zhen and the secondary called Pu Zhen; some were not graded and called Tong Zhen; Xiumei also had two types, the coarse called Feng Mei and the fine called Xin Mei; Gongxi was divided into Te Gong and Pu Gong.

In the mid-1980s, the varieties of Mei tea were simplified. They are generally categorized into Te Zhen (special grade, grade 1 to 2), Zhenmei (grade 1 to 5 and ungraded), Yu tea, Gongxi (special tribute grade 1 to 3 and ungraded), Xiumei (special grade, grade 1 to 3), and tea flakes, totaling 19 varieties.
