Keemun Black Tea, one of China's top ten famous teas, originates from Qimen County in east China's Anhui Province, and is renowned worldwide for its distinctive "Keemun aroma." In 2008, its traditional production techniques were inscribed on China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage List, representing centuries of artisanal mastery.
With its dark, lustrous leaves and bright red liquor, Keemun Black Tea offers a rich, full-bodied flavor layered with fruity and honeyed notes, earning it nicknames such as "the Burgundy of Teas" and "the Queen of Black Teas."
Every stage of its crafting – from withering and rolling to fermentation and roasting – reflects the skill and wisdom passed down through generations of tea makers, making it a true gem of Chinese tea culture.
As an intangible heritage, Keemun Black Tea transcends mere taste. It stands as a living legacy, showcasing to the world the pinnacle of China's tea craftsmanship and cultural tradition.
