Today, the communiTEA is drinking...

Keemun Rhapsody is a full-leaf black tea cultivated at approximately 1,200 meters above sea level in the Qimen (祁門) county of Anhui province, China — among the highest-altitude Keemun growing conditions available, and the elevation that produces the layered complexity this tea delivers. One of the most celebrated Chinese black teas in the world, Keemun from Qimen county carries the qimen xiang — the distinctive fragrance of aromatic lychee fruit and subtle floral notes unique to this growing region — and Keemun Rhapsody expresses it at full altitude intensity.

In the cup, it opens with a warm, biscuity aroma underscored by hints of browned apple sweetness. The flavour unfolds with an earthy, fruit-accented richness and delicate floral fruit notes, while a lingering, perfumed smokiness persists long after the last sip — the quality that earns Keemun the "Burgundy of teas" designation and that Rhapsody delivers more fully than any other Keemun at Adagio.
