About Keemun Maofeng Black Tea (Qimen)
This Keemun Maofeng comes from the high-mountain core region of Qimen, Anhui, at 600–800 m in the Huangshan range. The area’s misty climate, cool nights and mineral-rich red and sandy loam soils provide ideal conditions for the Zhuye cultivar, known for its rich aromatic precursors. These factors give Keemun its signature layered “Qimen fragrance” of floral, fruity, honeyed and light woody notes.
Keemun Maofeng is crafted from carefully selected early-spring buds and leaves. The tea features slender, tightly twisted strips with a glossy dark hue and subtle golden tips, offering a refined dry aroma with the distinctive “Keemun fragrance.” Keemun Maofeng has been highly regarded since the late Qing era and earned a gold medal at the 1915 Panama Exposition.

Smooth amber cup with orchid notes dancing through. The black cherry sweetness lingers beautifully, finishing with that distinctive honey character. Really enjoyed the clean aftertaste.
