Award-Winning Imperial Keemun Gongfu Black Tea

Luscious

A luscious black tea it is! Had this tea at the start of the pandemic in April 2020 and couldn’t stop thinking about how wonderful it was to wake up to it. So I ordered it again. Love it.

Delicate floral black tea

Just ordered it for the first time. It's similar to Sichuan Imperial Gongfu black tea, my favorite black tea right now. I generally drink Oolong teas, and this Keemun is a good choice for someone who likes lighter (less earthy) and more floral varieties

Two steeps to enjoy this tea

I looked forward to trying this tea. I'm fairly well versed in Oolong tea but just coming to a good understanding of Black tea. This tea is very enjoyable when brewed correctly. For me that meant after several attempts: 1 rounded teaspoon to 12 oz of 210 degree water. First step 4 minutes. Tea opens up and shows some fruit accents. Slight sharpness of tannins. A good two interesting cups of tea. Second brew 10 oz of 210 degree water. 5-6 minute brew. You'll see a more rounded softer flavor with subtle tannins. Both brews were a good experience. Try it and see. May have to cart amount of tea used and time frame for the brews but worth the effort.
