Keemun Zwart (Qi Men Hong) Zwarte Thee
Kan beschikbaarheid voor afhalen niet laden
Een intense zwarte thee met een natuurlijke zoetheid die doet denken aan karamel en bruine suiker. Er zijn ook tonen van tabak en eikenhout, die voor whiskyliefhebbers verrassend vergelijkbaar zullen zijn met hun favoriete likeur.
Onze Keemun Black (of 'Qi Men Hong') komt rechtstreeks uit het district Qimen in de provincie Anhui in China. De droge thee ziet er intens zwart van kleur uit en de kleine theeblaadjes worden voorzichtig in een gekrulde vorm gerold. Het is de perfecte keuze voor liefhebbers van stevige en natuurlijk zoete zwarte theeën.
De kwaliteit van deze Keemun-thee is totaal anders dan de 'exportthee' die doorgaans buiten China verkrijgbaar is. Omdat Keemun Black deel uitmaakt van de English Breakfast-melange, wordt voornamelijk in massa geproduceerde Keemun-thee van lage kwaliteit geëxporteerd vanuit China. Met de Teasenz Keemun zwarte thee proef je nu de oorspronkelijke smaak van Qimen, die zeer gewaardeerd wordt door theeliefhebbers in China.

How this black tea is made
-
Picking
Tea leaves are hand-picked in the morning.
-
Withering
The leaves are spread on bamboo trays to wither.
-
Rolling
Leaves are rolled, breaking the surface cells and promoting oxidation.
-
Oxidation
Rolled leaves are left to oxidize in bamboo baskets covered with a cloth.
-
Drying
The oxidized leaves are dried to reduce the humidity to a minimum.
-
Sorting
The tea leaves are sorted manually or mechanically.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
