About Keemun Black Tea:
Keemun Black Tea (or Qimen Hong Cha) originates from the Qimen region in Anhui Province, China, and its crafting technique is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Known as the "Champagne of Black Teas," it captivates tea lovers with its signature floral, fruity, and subtle smoky notes. During Victorian England, Keemun Black Tea was considered a luxury, often gracing royal and aristocratic tea tables. It became a staple in classic English Breakfast and afternoon tea blends. Compared to Ceylon and Assam teas, Keemun is more mellow and smooth, making it a refined choice for pairing with milk or sugar. Over time, it has earned its place as a luxurious favorite among Western black tea enthusiasts.
