Detail

All Keemun (sometimes spelled Qimen) tea comes from Anhui Province, China. Keemun tea dates back to the mid-1800′s and was produced following techniques that were used to produce Fujian black tea for centuries. The same small leaf cultivar used to produce the famous green tea Huangshan Mao Feng is also used to produce all Keemun tea. Some of Keemun’s characteristic floral notes can be attributed to a higher proportion of geraniol, compared to other black teas.

Among the many varieties of Keemun perhaps the most well-known is Keemun Mao Feng, harvested earlier than others, and containing leafsets of two leaves and a bud, it is lighter and sweeter than other Keemun teas.

A sweet, chocolatey, and malt tea liqour with some light floral aromas and wooden notes.

A full-bodied, sweet flavor similar to roses, the tea can be enjoyed with milk or non-dairy.

The flavor is very mellow and smooth that evolves in mouth.

Aesthetically pleasing, fragrant, and full of exquisite flavors, this tea is a classic Keemun Mao Feng. An early season tea from the Keemun gardens in Anhui Province, China, the delicately thin and twisted strips of black tea and russet produce beautiful dark cocoa aromas when infused. A superb tea to enjoy as an after-dinner energizer, or a sweet treat that’s sure to start the mornings off right.
