Keemun Mao Feng Organic

Keemun Mao Feng, a legendary sophisticated tea, comes from the Anhui Province and is often considered to be representative of the most superior black tea in China. The term ‘Mao Feng’ refers to the freestyle shape of the leaves. This tea is made from a slightly longer twisted leaf with fine tips. “Mao Feng” literally translates to “fur peak“. 

The tea was first created in the 19th century and since has become popular for its complex aromas – it is said to even be a favorite of Queen Elizabeth’s. The characteristic slow withering and oxidation of Keemun Mao Feng creates wonderfully complex aromas and flavours of stone fruit, smoke and tobacco. Lower quality Keemun teas are often used as the base for blends of black tea such as Earl Grey or English Breakfast. However, Keemun Mao Feng consists of full unbroken buds and young, tender leaves making this a lighter tea of superior quality and more aromatic than other Keemun black teas.
