This sample came to me from caile – thank you so much
The leaves are very thin, slightly curly. i wanted to “pet” them,haha
Western method Teavivre’s parameters
2tsp 8oz 195F 4 min (Teavivre recommends 3-5)
dark, wine notes along with some bread cake, no smoke.
decided to add1tsp of maple syrup to see if it would make it bread cake. and it did. like raisin bread cake. so good. delicious.
Resteep @6min was a little weak. I wouldnt bother. I have enough to try gongfu.
Thank you for sending me sample , i truly enjoyed it. Will pick up on BF sale(OMG i already planning BF sales)

I just spent my BF money. Guess I will have to sneak the order in.
I love this keemun, one of my favourite,
Yay, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hoping for good BF sales too. ;)
One of my fav keemuns too
FWIW: Superfine Keemun Mao Feng is a new non-organic TeaVivre Keemun for 2014, not to be confused with the more familiar similar sounding Organic Superfine Keemun Fragrant black tea.
oh…thanks looseTman! I didn’t notice that…so I haven’t tried this one yet!

i really want to gongfu it, cause resteep was rather meh
Is it normal for Keemun not to have a good resteep? im so spoiled with Yunnan
Lol, +1 terri :-) thanks loosetman, will have to try that…
I don’t resteep keemun…
the pic on website is not accurate. The brew is brown .
But Spring Keemun by A&D is very good at resteeps.
Many don’t resteep well. However, Premium Keemun Hao Ya will reliably and consistently provide 2 resteeps (3 cups total)Western brewing. These results are based on having enjoyed 1.7 kg to date.
looseTman, you are Keemun expert, i know;)
i like when tea resteeps well at least once. this s why i probably like gongfu method a lot. some teas are just endless
1.7 kg definitely provides familiarity. It’s very hard to beat TeaVivre Keemun.
Nothing beats Gongfu IMHO. But a good mug is something I also need in my tea life :-)
Premium Keemun Hao Ya provides 6 Gongfu steeps: 15s,25s,40s,70s,100s,130s – http://www.teavivre.com/keemun-hao-ya/
i cant say i tried a lot, but now im thinking i really like China Keemun by Nina’s Paris
http://steepster.com/teas/ninas-paris/34952-china-keemun
very rich flavor and I’m not afraid of smoke
i should try Premium Keemun Hao Ya. i think i ordered a sample
I’ll have to try that one.
