This highest grade of Keemun tea is full-bodied, rich and complex. Very smooth and earthy but sweet and slightly floral. If black rose was a flavor, this is what it would taste like. An absolutely wonderful tea.

All Keemun (sometimes spelled Qimen) tea comes from Anhui province, China. Keemun tea dates back to the mid-1800’s, and was produced following techniques that were used to produce Fujian black tea for centuries. The same small leaf cultivar used to produce the famous green tea Huangshan Mao Feng, is used to produce all Keemun tea.
