Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Hearty and full, makes a great breakfast tea! But the earthiness is sweet and there’s a bit of that bright floral character that makes Keemun so interesting all on its own. All Keemun (sometimes spelled Qimen) tea comes from Anhui Province, China. Keemun tea dates back to the mid-1800's, and was developed following techniques that were used to produce Fujian black tea for centuries.
