English Breakfast from Adagio Teas
67

I got a sample of this from a friend, and I’m intrigued. The brew is lighter than I expected, though I think that is more because I used too much water for the sample I had. I steeped for a full five minutes, hoping that might make up for it—I’m not sure it did. This is my first Keemun tea, and I’m definitely going to try more. It has a vaguely smoky, peppery aroma that is very lovely. The sip is gently smoky, nothing like a Lapsong Souchong (I remember with horror my first cup of that), and it goes down smooth. Overall a nice tea. Definitely one to keep on my short list for when my current stash starts to dwindle.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had an English Breakfast blend with Keemun in it. I’m not a fan of the peppery taste, so I probably won’t be trying this one. But I also frequently use too much water when brewing samples. It happens. :)
