Rare Chinese Keemun Black Tea

This keemun knocked my socks off with it's incredible flavor! It's a strong tea, so be prepared to do a second infusion, or what a shameful waste it would be of such excellent tea! I get tasting notes of light brown sugar, malt and touch of lime peel. I can not get enough of this tea! I love milk tea, and this black tea is excellent for that. With longer brew times (4-5 minutes on the first infusion and 6 minutes on the second) and adding brown sugar and plenty of 1/2 and 1/2, you will have one of the most divine milk teas you have ever tasted. Almost no bitterness to be found, it's very smooth. This tea deserves more than 10 stars! Thanks Rare Tea for sourcing the best teas of my life.

I wanted a medium-strength black tea to drink with milk with good flavour but some subtlety, and the Keemun fits the bill perfectly. A good late morning or post-lunch tea to keep you going through the rest of the afternoon.

A pot of this is a great way to start my morning. I usually make a second infusion on the weekend and it’s just as delicious. No harsh tannins, even drinking it without milk.

I was satisfied overall with your keemun tea. But the package has no best before date or production date, I'm a little disappointed that there's no information on it.

I thought I'd had good Keemun tea before, but none of them reached this one to the socks! The first infusion is sweet, like a liquid milk chocolate and the scent reminds me of caramel. I made four infusions today and the flavours spanned from chocolatey to nutty, covering a refreshing fruitiness and a silky smooth and creamy third infusion on the way. This tea is simply delicious and will be my new go-to morning tea when I need a gentle but strong nudge to wake up and face the day.
