Keemun Hao Ya "B"

This is the first Keemun that I have tasted on its own. I have drank tea blends that are made partly with Keemun.

The dry leaves smell somewhat smokey.

At the first sip I found the smokey note and as a sweet fruity flavor. As the tea cooled I smelled and got more of a honey flavor. The color of the tea was a dark brown when brewed. This tea has a subtle smokiness that I like.

Tealuxe has described this tea accurately. It’s tangy enough to feel warming, but it’s not too bold. It has a complex flavor—almost a fruity sweetness when drunk slowly, but a bit spicy if swallowed quickly.
