I received a sample of this from Angel and the folks at TeaVivre. Thank you!

This came in a vacuum sealed packaging with brewing instructions written on the package. This is my 2nd or 3rd keemun. The first keemun I tried had quite a bit of smoke to it and I really enjoyed it. I was anticipating the smoke for this tea and there is only a hint of smoke for me. This tea is medium bodied. The first part of the sip is very smooth that hints at a tad bit of bitterness towards the end. There is also a dry malty taste with a hint of smoke. I am not sure what to make of this tea. It is a tasty cup, but not one that I would crave. I will have no problems finishing what I have but I am not sure this one would be a restock for me.

I want to note that my ratings are based on my preference and whether or not I would restock/repurchase a tea.

Bio

I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
