Do the eyebrows serve a purpose or are they an esthetic feature? According to Face Reading, the shape of eyebrows may reveal one's personality.
For Chun (Zhen) Mei or precious eyebrows, the higher-end tea would have leaves that are similar in size and that look like crescent-shaped eyebrows. This organic Chun Mei has some broken 'eyebrows'.
There are other Chinese teas named 'eyebrows'. Two examples are Sow Mei (longevity eyebrows) and Gong Mei (tribute eyebrows).
