Keemun Mao Feng ImperialChina, Black Tea

Small-to-medium wiry black leaf with a few silky tips. Debris in the sample: twigs and a rock! Malty and sour scent. A hint of smoke, mint, and tobacco. Slippery mouthfeel. Generous sample size and nuanced aroma.

Tea: Upton Tea, ZK99
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Spring

Upton Tea description: "This superior Keemun has the depth of flavor and refined complexity characteristic of top grade An Hui Congou. The long, wiry leaves have a rich, deep aroma. The cup has notes of wine, fruit, and chocolate, complemented by a light, smoky nuance in the finish."
