Keemun is known as the "Burgundy" of black tea. Carefully crafted leaves, uniform in size, steep to a bright red liquor, thus the notation of a burgundy. The taste is full-bodied, brisk, with hints of cocoa and a lingering, sweet bouquet. Enjoyed by many as their breakfast tea as it is enlivening and goes well with food. A refreshing cup most anytime of the day or wonderful stepped, chilled and served as iced tea!
You will note the leaves are large (we milled them minimally) to preserve the natural flavors and bring a richer, deeper flavor to the cup. Each sachet will provide multiple steeps. The sachets are made from biodegradable non-GMO corn silk.
These elegant sachets are perfect for the traveler, at the office or a relaxing cup anytime.

Black Tea
Add 30 seconds for each successive steep — flavors evolve.
Black tea is a leaf that has been fully oxidized. This rigorous oxidization produces a tea of hearty rich flavors while reducing its astringency and bringing out a natural sweetness.
Flavors will range from bright, brisk, peppery, clean, and smoky to aromatic, bold, malty, nutty, spicy, and sweet. Blacks are known for long, delicately aromatic, and comforting aftertastes. Note, they are often enjoyed with milk or sweetener.
