As I explore my new found interest in black tea, there are some teas I’ve encountered that remind me of why I used to dislike black tea in the first place. This happens to be one of them.
True to its description, Superfine Keemun has a sweet potato aroma and taste. I like sweet potatoes and all but that earthy flavor doesn’t quite work for me in tea. Most of it dissipates after the 1st steep though. The second steep has a taste I associate with a typical English breakfast tea. There’s a tinge of smoke, a a bit tannic as it goes down but not bitter.
This really isn’t my kind of tea. I don’t get any of the chocolate, malt, or sweetness that I like in black tea. It’s basically a strong musky flavor with sharp tannins and earthy tones.
Flavors: Earth, Sweet Potatoes, Tannic

I like that you are exploring your new found interest in black tea and happily taking up along with you.
Totally, I feel you have to fully explore a tea genre in order to understand it and find the ones you like to drink.
Black tea is still fairly uncharted territory for me. Happy to keeping exploring and sharing my discoveries :)
