From Tealyra

Keemn black tea is one of the best-known black teas in the world, and is often used within other blends and fusions to create a new and exciting taste and fragrance. Often included as the main body of English Breakfast tea blends, Keemun tea is perfect for drinking as a base for other flavors, or alone to fully appreciate its distinctive and delicious fragrance and robust but smooth body.

Our Keemun Mao Feng Premium is a top quality leaf tea from Qimun County in the Anhui Province of China. Grown and harvested in the traditional manner by successive generations of experienced tea farmers, this Maofeng grade of Keemun tea is a premium offering that is harvested in early spring, and composed of only the purest unbroken leaf tips.

Producing a rich and warming amber coloured infusion when steeped in hot water, our Keemun Mao Feng Premium is composed of tightly rolled whole leaves that are completely oxidised to provide the distinctive and delicious signature Keemun flavor. After sipping the tea soup, you will experience a long after sweetness and unique Keemun black tea aroma in your every breathe. Adding little milk or honey, you will get another different spirit enjoyment for its fragrance. This tea is truly a good afternoon black tea.

In the year since I posted my first tasting note on this tea, I have continued to drink it, and ordered several times again from Tealyra. Even at work I will pull out one of these sachets every day or two and enjoy a cup. I have noticed that the leaves in the sachets are somewhat larger than the leaves in the bulk bag I keep at home, but the taste is the same. The sachets contain less leaf than I would normally use, probably around 1.0 to 1.25 g per sachet. Today I used 2 g and brewed in 8 ounces of boiling spring water for 2 min. The liquor was deep brown, and so very aromatic! And with every sip both my mouth and my nose was filled with deliciousness. Malty and sweet, this is a fine black tea that stimulates not only the sides and back of my tongue but also the roof of my mouth all the way back. It’s almost fruity, but not quite. And delivers a good caffeine kick! The second 2 min. Steeping was equally deep brown, but not nearly as aromatic. Flavors of leather and tobacco were evident alongside the now-tempered malty sweetness. With the sachets, I let it go 3-4 min and get one steep out of them. No fannings or dust either way.

I had been drinking so much of this that I bought a whole pound of leaves. Only to discover that this big lot is not as good. Less aromatic, less fruity, and tasting more toasted. I wonder if Tealyra changed suppliers, or if this batch got overcooked. Or maybe just a different year. Still quite quaffable, but I need to back down from using a full teaspoon of leaf per 16oz pot as this is just so strong!

Teavivre recommends 190F for their Keemun teas. I wonder if dropping the temp would help? I know it made Harney’s Organic English Breakfast, which is pure Keemun, more palatable for me.

That’s a good idea, ashmanra, I’ll give it a try!

This is my first Keemun, but oh, full-bodied! I will save the rest of this for a dark rainy early spring day. Very nice.
