KEEMUN 祁門紅茶

$35.00

Our Keemun Black Tea is a true gem, sourced directly from the Anhui province in China, the region where I grew up. Known for its exceptional flavor profile and rich history, this tea offers a taste of the place I call home. We take great pride in offering you a special selection of Keemun — the prized buds — harvested during the early spring, ensuring the utmost quality and tenderness.

These tender buds are handpicked at the peak of their freshness, and the careful processing highlights the tea’s smooth, malty sweetness, with delicate honeyed warmth and a light floral aroma.

Grown in the misty hills surrounding Michelle’s hometown, the unique climate and rich soil of Anhui contribute to the tea’s distinctive character. The meticulous hand-processing, from withering to oxidation, draws out a complexity that makes each sip a delightful experience. Whether enjoyed in the morning or savored during a quiet moment, this premium Keemun offers a true connection to my roots — and I’m proud to share it with you.

TASTING NOTES:

FLORAL

Delicate and fragrant, floral notes suggest blooming blossoms, with hints of jasmine, rose, or wildflowers adding a light, elegant complexity.

EARTHY

Grounded and robust, earthy notes offer a deep, mineral-rich character akin to damp soil or moss after rain.

SWEET YAM

Comforting and slightly earthy, sweet yam notes mirror the natural sweetness of roasted root vegetables with a velvety texture.


REGION:
QIMEN, CHINA

Qimen, located in Anhui Province, China, is world-famous for producing Keemun (Qimen) black tea, often hailed as one of the finest black teas globally. The region's subtropical monsoon climate, with mild temperatures, high humidity, and abundant rainfall, provides ideal conditions for growing tea. Its mountainous terrain, shrouded in morning mists, slows the growth of tea leaves, allowing them to develop a rich and nuanced flavor profile.

The region’s fertile, slightly acidic soils and traditional craftsmanship—characterized by precise withering, rolling, and oxidation—give Keemun tea its signature floral aroma, smooth texture, and subtle smoky, fruity notes. Qimen remains a celebrated center for tea production, renowned for its timeless quality and elegance.
