From Tea Runners

Keemun is among the most famous of Chinese black teas. It steeps to a fiery amber, red liquor with a light smoky aroma. The flavor is rich and toasty with mineral notes and a clean, mellow light orchid finish.

A perfect “anytime” black tea that is excellent on its own or with milk and sugar.

Spring 2022 harvest.

Ingredients: Black tea
Origin: Qimen country, Anhui, China
Caffeine: HIGH

Mmm… I kind of forgot I had restocked some Keemun black tea a while ago, and as the Pineapple Express is rolling through here in the western US, this robust Chinese black is really hitting the spot against the dreary and wet weather. I wouldn’t say it is exemplary among Keemun blacks, but it is exactly what I was expecting… Rich with malty notes leaning into a savory flavor of leather and smoke with an overall brassy mineral quality and a hint of bittersweet cocoa at the back of the throat. It’s also very smooth rather than tannic or drying. I really enjoy this type of tea!
