This China Black Gourmet Tea originates from Anhui, in east-central China, and it classifies as a black whole leaf blend tea. The dry leaf is dark black and partially open. This is a gourmet tea of excellent quality and value with dark liquoring.
Chinese Black Tea can retain its flavor for several years unlike green tea which can lose its flavor within a year. This made it an excellent choice for exporting. This China Black Tea was even compressed into bricks to serve as a form of currency in earlier eras.
Flowery orange pekoe is a high quality tea with a long leaf and few tips. The FOP stands for "flowery orange pekoe," which refers to the color of the leaves and not the flavor. It is considered first grade in the China tea grading system and is an excellent choice for black tea.

Good classic china tea
By Louise from Cape Cod on February 2, 2012
The tea has a clear, distinct taste, and the texture of the leaves is noticeably crisp and fresh. Better than anything available to me locally. I would recommend this item to a friend.

Excellent Tea - Good bite
By Richard Neff from Overland Park, Kansas on July 30, 2010
This Keemun is an excellent tea, even more so by the exceptionally reasonable price. I've been buying it in the 2lb bag for sometime. It keeps well (store reserve refrigerated). Excellent for blending; good astringency and bite. Nice liquor.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
