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.
"I can't really tell the difference between this and keemun encore. Both basically taste like english breakfast."
"I bought this as an alternative to the more expensive Keemun Rhapsody. While it doesn't replace the Rhapsody (which has a deeper flavor) I was definitely not disappointed. It has a very rich flavor, without being overpowering or harsh. "
"This tea had a nice strong flavor that I was looking for."
"This was just ok for me. Not a very strong keemun flavor"
"my mom really loved this one. it came in the sampler set and she made me order a full one."
"Not a bad black, but I don't think I would order again. "
