    What is Keemun?
    Keemun (Qimen | 祁門) is one of most famous black teas in China, and one of the first ones to be produced in the Qing Dynasty. The name (Qimen) stems from the name of the county, in the Yellow Mountain region, where the tea originated. The oldest production on record happened in 1875, when locals imported handcrafting techniques from Fujian and applied them to the local Maofeng cultivar.

    Before the rise of India as a major tea producer, English nobility imported choice Chinese tea leaves to satisfy their culinary needs; Keemun was a natural choice: the highly oxidized leaves travel well by ocean (unlike green tea) and yield a rich brew that pairs well with the calorie intensive, traditional English Breakfast.

Sweet and tasty

This is a nice, easy drinking tea that tastes a little sweet and malty. No need to add milk to this one, but you could. Just don't over steep it, because it goes a little bitter - but it's pretty delicious and I highly recommend.

Lacks depth of flavour

The tea is pretty good with a smooth finish but lacks a depth of flavour and ends up being fairly forgettable. This would be acceptable if the price point was lower but it's quite expensive for 50g of tea.
