Tea Education

China Black Teas are underrated compared to the better known Assams and Darjeelings but they are widely produced. Keemuns typically have a compact leaf style, sometimes described as 'flinty'. Although most grades are not showy, these were the original English Breakfast tea. They have a hint of natural smokiness. Substantial enough to tolerate milk if that is your choice.
