This is a premium grade Qimen (aka Keemun) harvested in Huangshan county of Anhui.  Qimen Black Tea (祁门红茶) is among the most famous black teas in China and has been consumed in the west for well over a hundred years.  It's fame is well deserved, and is derived from the unique Huangshan Mao Feng varietal and ideal growing conditions unique to the Huangshan area of Anhui.

Our Qimen Black Tea is a Mao Feng varietal and is also known as 特级香螺.

Qimen Black Tea is delightful to drink, never astringent, it brews up a sweet, chocolatey, and malt tea soup with some light floral notes.  The floral taste rather than conflicting with the malty sweetness accentuates it and adds additional dimensions of complexity to this elegant tea.

Reviews

Strong Honey Flavor

"Great Black Tea which I enjoyed. To me it has a very pronounced honey flavor. Not quite my daily drinker. Maybe I am looking for a more neutral Qimen, but still very nice."

— Tommy Z. (4/5)

Great quality

"The tea is really high quality, fragrant, flowery and a smooth, multifaceted flavor profile, but I learned that I just don't like Qimen."

— B. K. (4/5)

"Very fond of Keemun teas. I opened the bad to a wonderful smell and all the little curly leaves. The tea brewed with 100°C water and some 1% milk. I like this so much I bought more. A good full body and that China Black flavor all done exquisitely. ☕️"

— Alana L. (5/5)

Every grade of Qimen delicious

"Sampling all Qimen grades and each one has all the best flavors of black teas that I love. They are all knock your socks off good. Ordering more."

— Wendy (5/5)

Friend was very happy with the tea.

"Bought this for a friend who drinks a lot of qimen black tea. Have not tried it myself, but he proclaimed himself to be very pleased with the tea. Him being pretty discerning in general I cant wait to try it myself and compare with what I have earlier had in the same genre."

— Johan L. (5/5)

Great tasting tea

"Love this tea, amazing fresh, quality tea"

— Tanya C. (5/5)

Interesting tea

"An interesting tea, I like it. Fits the product decription quite well with regards to the taste, I'm not the biggest fan of the floral notes though. I could only make it work in a gaiwan though, western style tasted really bad in multiple attempts. Overall it's good, but not good enough to repurchase."

— Matthias (4/5)

I haven't had this quality

"I haven't had this quality of Qimen in years. Dark, but not heavy. Really pleasant."

— ben c. (5/5)
