This is my first Keemun, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It tastes similar to Golden Monkey tea to me, but not as smoky or malty, and a bit sweeter. I’m not sure where this company gets their teas, but the quality of the teas always seems very good to me. I’ll have to get the Harney & Sons English Breakfast to compare.

Aw Keemun. One of my favorites. I really enjoy TeaVivre’s Hao Ya
Nice! I’ll add it to my wanted list, thanks for the recommendation! :)
I just read the description…I can see why you like it, seems amazing!
Mike – Keemuns can be so very different from each other! Have you ever signed up for the Teavivre free tasting activity? You could get a variety of theirs and see the differences. The Harney English Breakfast is not one of the highest quality but is a daily drinker great with milk and sugar, and okay without additions. But some Keemuns are smokey, some are sweet, some are “winey”. The Winey Keemun from Grace Rare Tea is good! Keemun Hao Ya or Hao Ya A from many companies is good, and Superfine Fragrant is especially smooth and sweet. Sometimes I like that little bite of smoke. And I find that Teavana’s Golden Monkey tastes more like a lower grade Keemun, while Harney or Teavivre’s GM tastes much more refined. Meanwhile, enjoy tasting them ALL and forming your own opinions, finding your faves! :)
Send me a message with your address and I will try to get some Keemun samples to you!
Awesome, thank you so much! I definitely will have to sign up, and I’ll send you a DM. I stuck to the Indian black teas at first, but I’m loving the Chinese black teas so far…very complex! :)
Teavivre’s Keemuns are so good!!
Awesome, I’ll definitely have to try them. Thanks!
