Appearance & Taste
The leaf for making Keemun is tight and slim with a visible, fine golden fur. The taste is very mellow, with a light and long-lasting floral and fruit aroma and a hint of milk and honey. The tea soup sparkles red and is visually very attractive.
Brewing Guide
To brew, infuse 2 teaspoons of Keemun Black Tea for 125ml teacup or gaiwan, 4 teaspoons for 250ml glass, or 8 teaspoons for 500ml teapot, in hot water (90℃) for around 2 minutes for the first brew, extending the infusion time for the following brew. Do not use boiling water because it will destroy the vitamin C and other contents of the leaves. It will also accelerate the precipitation of phenolic substances such as caffeine and tea polyphenols, which will make the tea taste sour and bitter.

Refreshing taste and beautiful red soup. The quality is higher than other Keemun tea which makes it taste like milk and honey.

A really delicate tea for true black tea lovers. You’ll appreciate the pure taste of blossoms and honey in this brew, as well as the stunning, almost wine colour in the cup. Excellent.
