Which is the most famous Chinese black tea in the world?

It should be ‘Qimen black tea’, one of the four most famous black teas in the world.

The origin of Keemun black tea is Keemun County, Anhui Province. It is said that there is a famous green tea production area there, in order to export tea to Europe before the transformation of the production of black tea. Fujian’s Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, this tea belongs to the ‘small black tea’. And the black tea that originates outside Fujian and uses traditional processing methods is called ‘Kung Fu black tea. The subtext of the word ‘kung fu’ is that it is time-consuming and laborious, and careful manual picking is still the mainstream of kung fu black tea. Some people say that Keemun black tea imitates Zhengshan Xiaozhong, but the kung fu is not to blame, the reputation of this tea abroad is better every day, and now has become one of the ‘world’s four black teas’ and Assam black tea, Darjeeling black tea, Ceylon Highland black tea on par.

Keemun black tea in the United Kingdom is synonymous with top black tea, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen on her birthday to make a cup to celebrate it. The excellent quality of Keemun black tea does not have the slightest hint of flavor, only the floral and sweet taste of orchids and roses spread in the mouth. It’s also quite good with milk, but I suggest you try a sip of the tea first to get a sense of the very transparent flavor. As long as there is a portion of cheap Qimen black tea with a strong smoky aroma, it is easy to confuse with the inferior Zhengshan Xiaozhong.

By the way, the Englishman Chuan Ning (twinnings) made a product called ‘Prince of Wales Tea’ for the then Crown Prince in the early 20th century. This tea was initially primed with Keemun black tea.
