1.25 tsp for 300mL water @95C, stepped 4 minutes.

I’ve been hoarding this one for at least four years now. I really should drink it up.

That said, it ages extremely well, getting more oaky and winey.

It’s a bit more smoky than one might expect, but that goes great with the oaky and butted-toast notes.

I love a good Keemun. This one, as I recall, was sensibly priced. I’ve had fancier Keemun, and I’ve had some disgraceful slop called Keemun, bit this one is just lovely.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Floral oolong and complex black teas are my favourites.
