These tobacco-hued leaves produce the most extraordinarily bright, eye-catching amber cup. Keemun, a black tea named after the Qimen precinct of Anhui province, has the alluring elegance, precision and clarity of a top-quality Burgundy wine. It takes great skill to produce a good Keemun and this is a fine example. It's sweet, toasty and honeyed with an underlying orchid essence that’s truly captivating.
