Description

Black tea from the Anhui region of China. Perhaps the most famous of Chinese varieties, our 2006 crop is prized for its rich smoky 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.

"Excellent tea. I really liked this tea there just wasn't really anything to just make it stand out above the rest. It is really good and if I just want a basic tea sometime I'll order again but it's really nothing special."

"Wonderful aromoa while steeping. Complex notes of earthiness, a depth of character and some hint of smoke. The the body and finish are a little thin. This is the Keemun that I've tried from Adagio and I'll likely explore the other Keemun samples."

"Almost went for five stars, but it's not quite there. A great tea, though: flushed full with rich cocoa and smoke tones. Easy to brew, very dark liquor, very distinct taste. Its only flaws are its astringency and heavy headiness."

"Pretty good for a plain black tea. Very malty and a little smokey."
