Dry leaf is longer, thinner, and more twisted than any other Keemun I have had. Black leaves with some goldish brown highlights.

Refined and very smooth taste. The floral qualities are more up front, accentuating the orchid/rose notes, but still with a satisfying depth. Some prune-like fruitiness and maybe a touch of wood. Lingers on the palate a bit. Vey nice.

Also has whispers of chocolate. Not in-your-face chocolate like some Keemuns, which is fine with me. Good for at least 3 steeps if you do it my way – 2 min / 3 min / 4 min at 195° – 200°.

I enjoyed so many of their teas, and yet have never tried this one even though Keemun is one of my favorite types. I should do something about that one day.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
