Product attributes

This tea won third place in the Global Tea Championship Hot Loose Leaf category.  Keemun ("Qimen" in Chinese Mandarin) gongfu black tea is regarded as the “burgundy wine of teas.”  Keemun tea is well-known for its signature "Keemun Fragrance". Only high quality Keemun gongfu black tea has this captivating aroma. It is considered a delicacy and was once considered a luxury black tea and Great Britain royal's favorite. 

The traditional production of Keemun gongfu tea is very complex. It is usually a higher grade than Keemun Hao Ya A or B that you typically find on the market. 

This tea has very fine dry leaves, a sign of high quality gongfu tea. The brilliant red liquor produces aesthetic beauty in the cup and a satisfying taste, as well as a boost to your mental alertness and energy. It is very floral, mellow, and has very fruity sweet notes of plums and cherries, with underlying notes of wildflowers and rich yams. There is a lot going on in each steeping that keeps you wanting more. It can sustain multiple steepings.
