"I was absolutely blown away by this tea. I've always been a huge fan of black teas, but this set a new standard in my eyes. The flavor is heavenly, a mixture of smooth cocoa notes for which Keemuns are known, with the more traditional black tea flavors in the background. Also, there is no astringency. This tea is by far my favorite. It is definitely worth the cost." DZ

"The right amount of smokiness with deep, winey flavors. One could spend more (e.g. on Hao Ya's) and get far less. Truly great Keemun tea." andrew

"Tightly twisted dried leaves, enabling multiple resteeps. Tons of color extraction with no astringency. Sweetness is there, and shines when cold. Makes a great iced tea, in fact. Smoke is the dominate note, but doesn't overpower. Lingering finish." Luanne L Fliss

"I do not prefer the smoky quality, that is not my preference, other than that this is fine when I brew at home with purified water & better control. At work, with less control over all the elements, it tastes like gym socks. Very strange."
