Considered as being equal to Chinese black tea worldwide, even though it only goes back to 1875, Qimen or Keemun is enjoyed for its highly aromatic character. It is available in many different qualities, and this naturally influences the result. Qimen Hong Cha, made from the leaves of the local Zhu Ye variety, derives from the virgin environment of the Huangshan mountain range and is made by the producer of our Huangshan Mao Feng. It is fine and has a lingering aftertaste, with aromas of roses, flower honey and cocoa seeds. It is not at all tart or bitter; it forgives any carelessness in its preparation and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

China The garden supplying our Mao Feng and Qimen is perched at an altitude of 800m on the Huang Shan mountain range, in a protected area.
