Delicate gray leaf tea, the best of its class. Brews a rich amber color. Smooth flavor with a subtle orchid aroma.
Keemun Hao Ya is one of the highest grades of this famous tea and its taste is characteristic of traditional Chinese black tea-sweet, buttery and juicy. The narrow, tightly twisted black leaves brew into a reddish-gold cup with a full-bodied, fruity and smooth flavor. Its sweet notes are highlighted by its unique orchid and plum aroma. Keemun Hao Ya is typically consumed plain, but it may be taken with milk.
Keemun tea is grown in Anhui Province, which is situated in eastern China. Keemun tea, named after Qimen County where it is grown, was a huge success in England and became the key component in English Breakfast tea blends
