Description

Keemun Hao Ya A: a handmade Gongfu style tea.

This tea is largely retained for the most elevated of China's domestic consumption. Keemun Hao Ya A is the ultimate quality of this Chinese Famous (Tribute) tea. This represents the finest of China's long history of making Keemun teas for export. Grown in Anhui province, the leaf is picked very young, before Hao Ya B. It is small, neat and tightly twisted. The resultant cup is deep bronze in colour and is beautifully rich and winey with a well rounded floral aroma. Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for three minutes. It has sufficient body to take milk if desired.

  1. Ben (verified owner) –

    Keemun Hao Ya A: This is correct, a really good representation of Keemun. Biscuit, malt, a hint of chocolate and robust enough to take a range of brewing methods (time and quantity) yet still deliver a satisfying range of flavours without being weak or astringent. Shame that Greys don’t provide more provenance info for all their teas, harvest date etc.

    • Richard Grey –

      We do try to provide harvest date where this information is available. More general information is provided on the relevant tea category page.

    Stunning tea with a mild and courteous aftertaste. Reminds me of fresh mornings on a Chinese mountainside.

  5. Peter Leggett –

    Product:
    Service: I received the teas, post free, two days after ordering online – excellent service.

  6. Rupert Knowles (verified owner) –

    Product: Delicious and interesting, but a bit expensive
    Service: The company provides a very efficient service and fills a gap in the market: it is very difficult to buy interesting loose-leaf teas in supermarkets.
    Also the company has not been tempted to follow the current fad for flavoured teas, apart from traditional jasmine and bergamot.

  7. Michael Parkin (verified owner) –

    Product: outstanding
    Service: excellent service

  8. Stephen Eden –

    A great keemun: one of the finest available!
    A revelation!

  9. Rupert Knowles (verified owner) –

    Product:
    Service: But I wish they would stop bombarding me with emails, offers, surveys etc. When I run out and want more tea, I will order it………but you could turn me away with all this rubbish!
    Vendor response: I am sorry you feel we are bombarding you with emails. Customers receive two emails per month if you have elected to have them. Feefo send an automated survey email a few days after shipping if you have purchased. We send no other emails. I hope this puts things in perspective.
