Czarna Herbata Keemun (Qi Men Hong).

I'm glad I could order some before it was sold-out! This is a very comforting tea, with a strong, deep taste. It DOES remind me a lot of an old, slighlty peaty whiskey, with caramel, malt and woody notes, but barely any astringency. Perfect to wake up or drink during a cold day

Excelente té negro con un intenso sabor a miel. Uno de mis favoritos.

Aroma of chocolate, cream, toffee caramel and brown sugar. In flavor, it starts with cocoa, moves on to a woody touch, spices, fruit, honey and ends with a soft dairy and malt touch. A pleasure to be able to taste it either in the morning or in the afternoon.

Brewing: 4g/80ml, 85°C, 5s, +5s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell fruity and flowery. When wet, woody notes join the party.

The liquor has that same lychee fruitiness (imagine a very toned down cherry, minus the sweetness), a delicate cocoa note and some exotic wood in the background - like sandalwood, but much more quiet - providing depth. Overall, a very balanced and sophisticated combination that takes the stage properly with the third kung-fu infusion. The aftertaste is mostly cocoa.

A very good Keemun indeed. Way better than the store bought kinds, we get in Denmark, which can only steep 2 times, and ends up tasting like paint.
Leaves look beautiful, and smells lovely of sweet dark malt, cocoa, like most Keemun teas. But it is more complex, and have a faint flowery note as well.
Taste is very good and deep - and not too roasted. Notes of chocolate, honey and sweets, ending in a slightly brothy taste after 5th or 6th steep.
Good tea for a great price! TEASENZ: Hi Danish, thank you so much for the detailed review. We're glad you liked it!
