Product Description:
Keemun Black Tea is one of China's most prestigious traditional Gongfu black teas, renowned globally as one of the world’s three most aromatic black teas. Its signature "Keemun aroma" is celebrated for its elegance and complexity, often described as a fragrant experience of flowers, fruits, honey, and subtle pine smoke.

This tea is crafted from tender spring buds harvested from the highlands of Qimen, using traditional slow fermentation, light rolling, and precise baking techniques. The dry leaves are tightly curled with a lustrous dark sheen and golden tips. Once brewed, the tea yields a bright red liquor with a refined and lingering aroma.

The first infusions highlight gentle floral notes—such as orchid and rose—blended with soft honey and smoky undertones. The mid-steeps offer a smooth, sweet mouthfeel with a rounded body, while the later brews transition into mellow dried fruit and woody flavors. Overall, the tea presents a graceful, well-balanced profile with a distinctly elegant Chinese character.

Keemun black tea performs best when brewed in a porcelain gaiwan or glass teapot to showcase its clarity, aroma, and flavor. It is suitable for both pure tasting and blending, and enjoyable for all levels of tea drinkers.
