Our organic Keemun brews an aromatic and complex cup. Its sweet nature makes this a good anytime-of-day tea. A very slight smoky rose flavor, with resinous pine overtones. Then the aftertaste lingers on deep, sweet plum notes. Overall, Keemun tastes less floral, richer, and more hearty, like smooth dark chocolate. A longer steeping sharpens the pine aftertaste, while the cup remains even. Taste it, and find out why this black tea measures up to better-known cultivars—such as Darjeeling, Assam, or Sri Lankan (Ceylon)—while bringing its own sophistication to the world of tea. This loose-leaf, single-origin black comes from Keemun County, in Huangshang City, Anhui Province. The history and culture around Keemun tea make a fascinating story. Among other Chinese teas, Keemun may have a shorter legacy, but tea from this region has shaped the worldwide tea trade and flavor preferences tremendously.
