Keemun Black
Made in Qimen County in China’s Anhui Province, Keemun black tea only dates to the late 1800s. It was a favorite of the emperor and his family in a time when most Chinese didn’t drink black tea. While still popular there, it is often foundational to breakfast-blend teas. Made from a small-leafed tea plant varietal, the best Keemuns yield liquors that are smooth and sweet with hints of honey, chocolate, and roasted apricots.
