An excellent hearty black tea harvested and processed in Yunnan Province China. It’s a broken leaf, but contains many golden tips as well as leaf and bud couplets. The aroma of the dry leaf is sweet and earthy. The infused leaf produces a deep red liquor and the flavour is hearty with sweet fruity and earthy notes. This is a great morning tea, excellent on its own, but hearty  enough to stand up to the addition of milk and/or sugar.

A high quality big leaf tea processed into a fantastic smooth black tea. The dry leaf consists of beautiful large golden buds and dark leaf couplets. They emit an aroma of cocoa/”chocolatey” notes and sweet hints of fruits (dried apples) and a slight “malty” note – very complex. The infused leaf unfurls and has a slight red tinge to it. The flavour of the infused leaf is smooth, sweet and rich with absolutely no bitterness. The leaves may be infused several times. This tea is bold enough to take the addition of milk or sugar, but some of the complexity would be covered. This is a wonderful tea any time of the day!

  Keemun (STD-1110) Hao Ya B 2009  – Known as the “Burgundy of Tea” due to its superb bouguet. Our Keemun is produced in Qimen County, Anhui Province, China. Keemun is a unique black tea produced from small leaf green tea bushes unlike Assam’s from India  which are produced from large leaf tea bushes. Keemun is harvested and processed towards the end of April, a little later than most other varieties of China Teas. Keemun is lower in caffeine  but is full in flavour. The dry leaf is small and twisted in shape and produces a deep red liquor. The flavour is sweet with a slight “plumy” note and a hint of cocoa, with no bitterness. The flavour is strong enough to stand up to the addition of milk and/or sugar.
