Keemun Black Tea

Keemun Black Tea, also known as Qimen Black Tea, is a classic Chinese black tea from Qimen County in Anhui, China, known for its mellow body, cocoa-like depth, and elegant floral-fruity aroma. The cup is smooth, rounded, and lightly sweet, with malt notes, a clean finish, and low to medium bitterness when brewed properly.
