Keemun Hao Ya A, Organic Chinese Black Tea

Keemun Hao Ya A is called "The Burgundy of Tea." Compared to other Chinese teas, Keemun has a relatively short history. It was invented in 1875 by Yuanlong Hu and soon gained popularity in England and became the most prominent ingredient of high class English Breakfast tea. Over the years, Keemun Tea continued to take the world by storm. A two-time gold medalist in the World Exposition Fair, the unique aroma is said to rival any of the Darjeelings and Ceylon teas. A tantalizing blend of fruit, honey and floral notes, the Keemun aroma is a charming experience. The taste, often described by foreigners as "China sweetness", is well balanced and distinctive. Keemun Hao Ya A is the highest grade of Keemun available and is very rare. It has a sweet biscuity fragrance and exquisitely mild but complex aroma with a hint of smokiness. Many tasters describe its profile as being reminiscent of toast hot from the oven slathered in berry jam. The character can also be described as Burgundy-like, owing to the deep winey notes that permeate the cup. It is said you can compare Keemun Hao Ya A to a fine burgundy wine because of it’s superb bouquet. Unlike most tea, this premium tea ages well and improves over time, which is why many connoisseurs will store batches of it the way one would do with wine.
