“Tastes very woodsy-sweet—like sandalwood and maple syrup. Has a bit of “chewiness” and a hint of breadiness. The smokiness is more apparent on cooldown. I’m really enjoying this cup—I think this...” Read full tasting note

“I got this in a swap from Jude. Just enough to make a 4-cup pot of it, perfect! Not so awesome that this tea seller has gone out of business? This is a nice cup of tea, malty and sweet with a bit...” Read full tasting note
“Smokey, maybe 25% as smokey as a lapsong souchong, especially predominant on the first steep. I’m thinking smoked figs, as if such a thing exists. Nice cup of tea to muse over. Medium-bodied...” Read full tasting note
Our No.501 China Keemun Special Grade is our recommendation for an everyday China black tea. It has all the classic characteristics of a fine Keemun – reddish brown cup color, medium to full bodied with mellow smokiness, touches of fruit and a fresh baked bread quality. A touch of milk can bring out a soft floral note. All these notes can be found in its wonderful aroma. It is an excellent breakfast tea but is also great any time of day. Try it on a snowy morning, or out in the yard on a brisk night under the stars.
