From Royal Tea Bay Co. Ltd.

Keemun Black Tea is produced in Keemun county, Anhui province. It is one of the most famous three black teas in the world, because of its fragrant and mellow taste. It is a black Chinese tea with a winy and fruity taste, designated as a China famous Tea. Keemun has a relatively short history. It was first produced in 1875. People learn the precession of the Fujian black tea. Prior to that, only green tea was made in Anhui. But this excellent Keemun tea quickly gained popularity in England, and became the most prominent ingredient of the English Breakfast tea blend..

Keemun black tea is featured by its slender, tightly curled black tea leaves, dark and sleek color and luster, faint fragrance of honey , as well as long-lasting freshness. And the liquor is characterized by bright red as well as sweet and mellow savor. Keemun black tea can be drunk without adding anything so as to taste its peculiar fragrance, or added with milk, granulated sugar and lemon to gain different flavor.

Oh, today is an amazing day. Imperial College London just emailed me that they will be making me an offer for a place on their Computing course. So delighted! London, by the way, is an awesome city, especially the South Kensington region. It’s certainly like Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts.

So to celebrate this, I decided to clean up my tea stash only to find that I have this tea. I completely forgot that I bought 1.5 ounces of this from Ebay a couple mongths ago.

I’ve decided to try it Gongfu style. First a ten-second rinse, then a five-second steep. It’s sooo smooth! I never expected anything like this from a black tea. Most of my black teas are a little bit astringent on the tongue, but this one is different. I expected this to be very dry and astringent.

Second steeping (15 second steep): Woha, now we are talking astringency business! I tend to like when a black tea is pulling my mouth together.

Third steeping (25 seconds): The tea is losing it’s color now, meh, I guess it isn’t that high quality. After all, I bought this on Ebay for $6, so it was a pretty good deal nonetheless. Anyway, the taste is still smooth, but I fill that it has lost its power now, so I’m ending this now.

Bottom line: It’s a smooth black tea that is really cheap, but it won’t last long in your gaiwan. (At least it didn’t in mine, a 4 oz gaiwan)
