Keemun

Black Tea by Eight Cranes

This is the original tea so many of us know as English Breakfast. The Chinese developed it in 1875 in response to the increasing demand for tea in Europe . It quickly became the main export tea from 19th century China . It produces a dark amber color with a honeyed aroma and floral character.

A model breakfast blend style keemun. A tad floral with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Nothing too special. Pretty typical stuff.
