As I was digging through the ever so organized tea drawer this morning looking for ceylon, I found this instead. I was excited because I didn’t realize there was a keemun in there (my boyfriend had ordered it), so I definitely decided to have this tea instead of the ceylon, eagerly awaiting the keemun goodness I’ve come to love.
Well… I was a bit disappointed. It smelled very smokey and slightly woodsy. As I took a sip I was less excited. The powerful scent just doesn’t live up to the taste. It’s very flat tasting and watery thin. There isn’t much body to this tea and it has this odd tangy after taste to it.

Keemun/Quimen teas are tricky and I find seasonal harvests are radically different from year to year based on rain fall…..highest grades are Hao Ya A and Hao Ya B and anytime some tea company obscures the origin, tea estate, or grade it means its usually a blend or a mix to dilute poor season or costs….sorry it didnt jam ya up
