Keemun Loose Leaf Tea: Dahlia from Anhui Province, China.

Our Keemun Loose Leaf Tea is 'gongfu' tea in that it requires disciplined skill to produce the leaf in tight, thin strips. Dahlia has a rich liquor and delicate aroma. Keemun is the most famous of China's black teas and, due to its subtle, biscuity nature and winey character it is considered the "Burgundy of teas". It makes an excellent breakfast tea or, brewed more lightly, an elegant afternoon tea. Make with freshly boiled water using one teaspoon per person and one for the cup. Infuse for three minutes. Best drunk without milk.
