The Qi Men district in Anhui, China, known primarily known for its green teas, is the home and namesake of this legendary black tea. Keemun has been grown only since 1875 in an area with dense forests and many mountain springs on hills that form the northern tip of the Huang Shan mountain range. It is considered one of the top three black teas in the world.
The leaves run deep green to almost black, while the tea brews up bright amber. It has a rich and concentrated taste with sweet, flinty, plum-like flavors, and a smoky aftertaste. Lower in caffeine than most blacks, and high in antioxidants, this tea is healthy and can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Our organic Keemun has a complex aroma, featuring orchid and smoky incense notes.
