Rare Chinese Keemun Black Tea

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
