Keemun Tea

4.5
Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
22 Reviews
This is one of those blends that really proves there is no definitive 'tea' taste. This is black tea without the usual connotations - it's light, smooth, with hints of smoke and a touch of caramel. Our Keemun is most definitely best enjoyed black, but a light splash of milk with also work.
Smooth & Subtle
Perfectly paired with some crusty seeded bread for some complimentary nuttiness.

Brewing Tip

Keemun won't go bitter like other black teas as it's a completely different brewing experience, and it should most definitely be tried black first.

    Nice Tea

    Tried this in the absence of Lapsang in stock, not as smoky as I was hoping for but still a really nice brew.

    Cheers Ian! We're so glad you're enjoying our Keemun as a nice brew :)

    It's a different character to our Lapsang for sure, but thanks for giving it ago

    Happy brewing

    Keemum

    So smokey tea is not my absolute favourite but I'll make an exception for this. Tried with and without milk. Actual delicate smokey flavour and aromatic.

    Keemun does have that gentle smoky edge without taking over the whole cup. Do you prefer it with milk or black?

    Cheers,

    Another Tasty Tea

    Definitely a bit different. As per the description there is a subtle sweetness to the taste.

    Not a hard hitter like Kenyan, and has little bitterness.

    Nice to drink black.

    I prefer the Rwandan, but as this has a very different origin, I have initially given it four stars, but I will have a few more brews to see if it grows on me.

    I am also still trying to figure out the best snack accompaniment.

    Twin to Darjeeling

    Light and delicate, and definitely tasty, but if I'm honest, I struggle to tell the difference between this one and the Darjeeling. Probably my tea-tasting-buds just aren't sufficiently refined!

    Thanks for giving our Keemun Tea a try Jason :)

    They are both really lovely, delicate teas so I can understand that the differences are quite subtle. I'm just glad you found the Keemun tasty and enjoyed it!

    Happy brewing,

    Beautiful relaxation

    It was the first time I had tried this tea but thought I'd give it a go as all the other teas I but from you have been perfect.

    I love a tea with a hint of smoke, so this tea really hit the mark. Subtle and not too strong, this was perfect for an afternoon brew. I can highly recommend it.

    Hi Toby,

    We love to hear when our drinkers have joined us on a learning journey. This was a new one for me but love the story and history behind the origins.
