Keemun Mao FengChina, Black Tea

Slender well-twisted leaf with plenty of yellow tips. Sweet powdery scent like milk chocolate. Vividly colored infusion with a hint of leaf fuzz. Generous sample, half is enough. Smooth flavor with the familiar sour note and a slippery mouthfeel. Leaf unfurls quickly into medium-sized fragments and buds.

Tea: Upton Tea, ZK77 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Spring

Upton Tea description: "This selection has a bold leaf style, made from well-twisted dark brown leaves mixed with a large portion of golden tips. The sweet character emerges in the aroma of the dry leaf as well as in the cup infusion. A great selection for those who enjoy the complex character of the typical Keemun, and would rather avoid a smoky flavor note."
