Detailed Description
This China black tea is produced in the Anhui province in Qimen (Keemun) County. Located in eastern China, in the southern part of the province, this Keemun tea has slender black leaves that are tightly curled and yield a full-bodied tea with a flowery bouquet.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Green Beans with Garlic and Tea

1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Keemun tea leaves, brewed in two cups of water

Steam green beans in water. While beans are steaming, sauté minced garlic in one tsp. of canola oil until opaque. Add brewed tea and simmer with garlic for a few minutes. Remove beans from steamer and put in a large bowl. Pour tea marinade over drained beans. Garnish with toasted almond slices, as desired. Serve immediately.

Try Keemun teas with: Pasta with red sauce, Poultry and Red meat

Creamy and floral 2/17/2021
This is a great tea. It is mellow and creamy with a nice floral, woody aroma. The liquor has great mouthfeel and, again, tastes creamy and smooth. I'd recommend 45 seconds only for the first steep. I will absolutely be buying more of this. One small point, is that I would like to know when it was harvested.

Superb tea! 11/4/2020
This China Keemun is outstanding! It is full bodied and flavorful, but also smooth and mellow. Several of our friends who have tried this have also been greatly impressed with this excellent tea.

Boring - won't buy again 5/12/2020
Found this tea boring. Compared side-by-side with the China black (Yunnan) and found the two indistinguishable. Medium body without much bitterness but not supple either. A basic breakfast blend type tea with a slight smoky hint on the finish. Not terrible, but unimpressive.

A new favorite! 1/13/2018
China Keemun black tea right out of the bag has an almost winey aroma. It brews up to a deep amber color with a nose that hints at apricot and raw almond to me--I see that others find this more of a floral nose. In any case, it is both delicate and rich, without much tannin, for a smooth, delightful brew at an excellent price.

One of My Favorites 10/23/2017
This is the one tea from S&V that I always have on hand. I enjoy many types of teas, including Darjeeling and Japanese Green but if I ever have a digestive issue, the China Keemun is the one I reach for. It is mellow, floral, fragrant, rich and comforting. It is, of course a tea you could enjoy any time of day.

Love The Hint of Floral 4/13/2013
This tea is wonderful. I wanted to try something new and different, and this really fit the ticket. The light flowery taste is perfect with the smooth black tea. This will be one of my go-to teas for hot afternoons.
