Keemun Tea Black Tea Qimen Tea

Product Description

Keemun Black Tea, also colloquially known as “the queen of black tea”, is one of the finest teas in the world. It has been planted in Qimen County, Huangshan City in Anhui Province for more than 100 years. It is well-known for its strong fragrance, fresh and mellow taste, and its strong colour when brewed.

Although it may not have been the first Chinese black tea to be produced or exported, it certainly gained a solid reputation in the West as one of China’s best black teas. In general, there are three prominent types of black teas that are believed to possess the most intense fragrance of all black teas worldwide: Keemun black tea, Darjeeling tea and Ceylon tea.

Hence, if you’re looking for a hearty tea for the morning, the Keemun Black Tea makes for one of the best breakfast teas. We highly recommend this for people who enjoy a strong cup of black tea with a light smoky aroma.
