China Keemun tea originates from the Qimen County in Anhui Province, eastern China. The name "Keemun" is the English translation of "Qimen". Keemun tea is known for its narrow, tightly twisted black leaves. When brewed, it produces a brilliant reddish-brown cup with a full-bodied, light, toasty flavor. The tea has layers of flavor, including smoky, malty, and a hint of nuttiness, along with a light floral aroma. The tea leaves are slowly withered and oxidized, which enhances both aroma and flavor. The leaves are then rolled to bring out the deep flavors held in the enzymes and juices, followed by baking or firing to remove excess moisture.

China Keemun

Black tea, including Keemun, offers several health benefits. These include improved cardiovascular function, reduced cancer risk, improved immune function, improved oral health, and assistance with weight management; Black tea is rich in polyphenols, a class of antioxidants that help maintain body homeostasis and balance stress levels; Black tea has been found to regulate blood sugar levels better than other types of tea, according to a study by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Keemun tea was first produced in 1875 by Yu Ganchen, a government official who traveled to Fujian Province to learn the secrets of black tea production. This was a significant development as Anhui Province previously only produced green tea; Keemun tea quickly gained popularity worldwide and became one of the first black teas exported from China. It is also a key ingredient in English Breakfast blends; The tea is produced in the mountainous, forested, and foggy environment of Anhui Province, which contributes to its unique flavor profile. The region's lack of sunlight ensures the tea is high in nitrogen compounds and theanine, an amino acid that imparts umami; Keemun tea is highly valued and protected to ensure its quality and authenticity. Locals believe the best Keemun comes from leaves with a little red vein running down the backside of the leaf.
