Keemun Mao Feng

Keemun Mao Feng Supreme from the mountain slopes of Anhui Provence is a great tasting whole leaf black tea. Typically Keemuns are breakfast teas, but the Mao Feng Supreme is a great ‘self drinker’ or stands milk well so can be taken any time of day. A beautiful twisted leaf yeilds a cup with little astringency and the classic toasty/winey notes of a good Keemun. We have 3 grades of Keemun and this is the middle grade. It is a well made tea and well worth the price.

Loving this! I received this tea as a free sample with my order placed some time ago, and I am just getting around to trying it. This is a fine Keemun, very light astringency to this one, with a dry finish that is quite like a dry wine. The wine-like notes linger in the aftertaste. It is sweet, slightly smoky and very delicious. And after checking it out on the Strand website, I can’t believe it’s only 3.95 for 2 ounces! Wow! Definitely worth it.

This is a sample I received from Strand Tea co. This tea really surprised me. This tea has slender dark black twisted leaves that unfurl when steeped. The flavor of the tea is smooth and delicate while being sugar sweet. It has an amber color when infused and has no bitterness or astringency at all. The taste is very complex and mild and actually reminds me of sugarcane. This is one tea I will have to order.
