Overview
Best pick • solid black choice from Unknown origin
Tip: Steep 2.5g of Hubei Keemun Ji Hong in 200ml water at 95°C for 3 minutes.
Rated a top tea region since the Tang Dynasty, Hubei province produces this remarkable black tea, a special grade of Keemun. A sweet aroma reveals hints of cocoa, tobacco and Burgundy. The full-bodied cup is rich and winey with hints of spice and a biscuit toastiness. The finish is smooth with a gentle oak nuance.
