Keemun Concerto

Description

Black tea from the Anhui region of China. Keemun tea, perhaps the most famous of Chinese varieties, is prized for its rich chocolaty flavor, and sumptuous aroma. Our 'Keemun Concerto' is a hand-made, limited production 'Mao Feng' grade tea. It is a rare embodiment of this tea's wonderful potential.

Story

Keemun is a region of China that lies within its Anhui province. Until about a century ago, this region produced only green tea, which was unremarkable at best. However, once the local farmers switched to the manufacture of black tea, the results were spectacular. But not always. Keemun teas come in a wide range of quality, some quite pedestrian, some simply sublime. The finer grades of this tea are known as Keemun Mao Feng and Keemun Hao Ya. Both are produced by hand in very small quantities, making them pricey, but often well worth it.

"A slightly smokey, flavorful black tea. However, not one of my favorites."

"Solid black tea, could be enjoyed by most black tea drinkers and would good to blend off a smokier tea. Great in the morning, reminds me of drinking coffee."

"Here's an economical alternative to your English Breakfast! Similarly tasty, and a shade less expensive."

"This is a smokey flavored tea. If you enjoy bold flavors, than I think it will agree with you. Otherwise, avoid it."

"Not my favorite tea but not the worst either. It just needs something extra..."

"Brews a nice amber liquor. Smells of smoke and sweetness, reminiscent of old leather. The aroma is a great indicator of the flavor, the sweetness and smoke certainly show through, along with a big background of deep earthieness. Very full bodied on the palate. Lives up to it's name "The Bourdeaux of Tea". Well definitely re-order and may possibly be my favorite tea thus far."
