A great cup of Keemun,
This review is from: China Keemun Special Grade, 1.2lb. (Misc.)
SpecialTeas' China Keemun Special Grade produces a great-tasting cup of Keemun. It has a nice, brisk bite to it with just the slightest undertone of smokiness. A good choice to help you wake up in the morning!

A superb breakfast tea from the home of the Ming emperors.,
By Themis-Athena (from somewhere between California and Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Keemun Special Grade, 1/4lb. (Misc.)
Keemun tea comes from the slopes of Mount Huangshan in southern Anhui province, located on the mighty Yangtze River in eastern China, also home to Mount Jiuhua (one of China's famous four Buddhist mountains) as well as other impressive and scenic mountains, and historic villages dating back to the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368 - 1644). The province was the birthplace of the first Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang (1328 - 1398), a member of the White Lotus rebels, who took the seat of power away from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. First settled by Han Chinese in the third century BC, Anhui takes its name -- "Peaceful Emblem" -- from two ancient provinces, Anching and Huizhou. Today it is one of China's leading agricultural provinces, producing inter alia rice, wheat, beans, maize, sweet potatoes, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sesame, rapeseed, tea, hemp, silk, fruits, tung oil, and even raw lacquer.
A relative young tea compared to China's other varieties, which can trace their origins back several hundreds or even more than 1000 years, Keemun tea plantation only began in 1875, responding to the growing demand for black tea on the English market, but quickly gained a reputation for a particularly fine, aromatic tea. Keemun tea is of a reddish brown color and a distinctly invigorating, rich, often smoky aroma that includes notes of rose petals or orchids as well as fruity notes. Keemun makes for an excellent breakfast tea and in fact, is a key ingredient in Britain's quintessential morning blend, English Breakfast. 2115|R339AG4NLRWITB;2115|R1J8666HKQ30FL;
