Arcadia Keemun | Black Tea

Description

We’re hoping to source a new lot in the future, but there is no guarantee.

A nimble-bodied Keemun with a spry and sprightly texture. The strong mineral character and high aromatics of sweet rose give it a natural, pastoral appeal.

Produced April 27-28, 2023 by Mr. Wang Wen Feng in Likou Town, Qimen County, Anhui Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of local cultivars growing at approximately 2,000 feet. Qimen (“chee-mun”) is frequently spelled “keemun” in English and is pronounced phonetically when spelled like this. Both words refer to the same tea.
