Keemun Black (祁门红茶)

Keemun originated in the Qimen county of Anhui province.  It was first produced at the end of the 19th century making it a relatively new tea compared to the long history of Chinese green teas.  This mild tea produces a lovely red-brown cup with a sweet and spicy bouquet with slightly smokey note.  Keemun teas are often compared to Burgundy wines because of these complex aromas.

Deep, mildly smokey, crisp
