Qimen Mao Feng Supreme is a variety of Keemun Tea, known for being more smooth and delicate than the usual Keemun offerings. Qimen Mao Feng Supreme is harvested in the traditional manner around Qingming (or the 5th of April) each year, when the buds and leaves reach the perfect pinnacle of growth. Qimen Mao Feng Supreme is comprised of slender curled, narrow leaves, together with delicate golden tips. The aroma of the dried leaves contains hints of spice, that are released while brewing to produce a fragrant aroma! Qimen Mao Feng Supreme infuses a smooth, velvety cup that is delicately sweet and has a deep, strong fruit notes without any bitterness or astringency present.
Revisiting this Qimen, the same mylar pouch I bought during pandemic, from the back of my cupboard. Looking at my previous review, the score of 54 seems a bit harsh (since I’ve assigned regular Lipton “pekoe cut black” teabags a rating of 65). The tea has good flavor of fruit and malt, and nicely aromatic, but is indeed smooth and delicate as compared to plain Keemun which I still prefer. But there is a time for smooth and delicate flavors, and this delivers on that promise! Raising my rating to 70, with the caveat that it is on the expensive side of 70. The second steep was watery and with the previously mentioned notes of cardboard, so I won’t advise multiple infusions.
