Rare Chinese Keemun Tea
This tea continues to be beautiful. The last order that I received from the Company had been mysteriously "opened" and some of the merchandise cunningly removed! Maxwell at RTC immediately sent replacement teas to me which arrived - safely - and in double quick time. I cannot praise the company enough for their continually efficient and sympathetic handling of any problems or questions that have arisen in the years that I have been shopping with them (fortunately, the queries etc have been few and far between and usually due to other agencies such as Royal Mail!).
United KingdomSimply the best black tea
This tea has a natural sweetness and is simply delicious on its own. Highly recommend.
United KingdomWonderful flavour
I ordered a few different loose leaves from this website and this one is hands down my favourite. A super smooth, slightly sweet taste with an incredible smell. I'll definitely be ordering more.
United KingdomLiquid love!
Rare Tea has helped me to discover a number of delicious delights. This rare Chinese Keemun hits the spot every time.
United KingdomKeemum black Tea
Light with lots of subtle flavours. I love it! Consistently good.
Another winner!
This keemun knocked my socks off with it's incredible flavor! It's a strong tea, so be prepared to do a second infusion, or what a shameful waste it would be of such excellent tea! I get tasting notes of light brown sugar, malt and touch of lime peel. I can not get enough of this tea! I love milk tea, and this black tea is excellent for that. With longer brew times (4-5 minutes on the first infusion and 6 minutes on the second) and adding brown sugar and plenty of 1/2 and 1/2, you will have one of the most divine milk teas you have ever tasted. Almost no bitterness to be found, it's very smooth. This tea deserves more than 10 stars! Thanks Rare Tea for sourcing the best teas of my life.
United StatesSatisfying: rich but not overpowering
I wanted a medium-strength black tea to drink with milk with good flavour but some subtlety, and the Keemun fits the bill perfectly. A good late morning or post-lunch tea to keep you going through the rest of the afternoon.
United StatesSmooth and delicious
A pot of this is a great way to start my morning. I usually make a second infusion on the weekend and it’s just as delicious. No harsh tannins, even drinking it without milk.
South Koreagood!
I was satisfied overall with your keemun tea. But the package has no best before date or production date, I'm a little disappointed that there's no information on it.
Simply delicious
I thought I'd had good Keemun tea before, but none of them reached this one to the socks! The first infusion is sweet, like a liquid milk chocolate and the scent reminds me of caramel. I made four infusions today and the flavours spanned from chocolatey to nutty, covering a refreshing fruitiness and a silky smooth and creamy third infusion on the way. This tea is simply delicious and will be my new go-to morning tea when I need a gentle but strong nudge to wake up and face the day.
A supreme daily driver
This is the tea I always give to my friends when they say then don't like black tea without milk. The sheer cascade of flavour is present is mind-blowing. For me it's chocolate with a powerful but gentle tannic backbone. Plus, it's cheap enough to have every day, especially if you blend the infusions.
