Keemun black tea is a relatively recent development of black tea. It hails from the Anhui province of China, specifically the county of Qimen (Keemun Is the anglicized pronunciation.) The tea was born when a man from Qimen went to Fujian and learnt how to produce black tea, then brought the knowledge back to Qimen. As such, keemun was the first black tea to be produced in Anhui. The tea itself is known for its strong body along with its fruity and floral flavours and subtle piney undertones. The tea is also the basis for English breakfast tea. Black tea may help with cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that it may help lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol.
Other Names: Qimen Gongfu, Keeman Congou.
Region: Qimen County, Anhui, China
