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.
