Keemun Poll

[spot52]

I love Keemun's. I like them all, but I would not buy all of them regularly.

[entropyembrace]

Mao Feng is definitely my favourite, I think it has the richest flavour with it's strong fruity tones and smokey aroma

[joelbct]

hao ya A, out of that list.

But best i've ever had is Keemun Chun Fen Spring Dawn from Ito En, u have to call them up, usu does not appear on the menu. it goes for the startling price of 25-45 dollars per OUNCE, and is limited supply in the spring months, but pure perfection.... not smokey, refined, balanced, mouthwatering, complex, brilliant... and pricey

[omegapd]

Of all that I have tried, I would say none make the list. That is one tea that I just hadn't found "the one" yet...

The keemun I prefer is the Keemun Mao Feng Imperial from Palais des thés but I have just ordered from them a new one: Keemun Mao Feng Xiang Luo which I hope will be worth its price (60$ per 100g).

While Keemun is likely my fave black, I have never tried any costing more than 25-30 USD per 100 grams or 1/4 pound. I would like to try one of the amazing offerings mentioned above.

By default, I said Hao Ya A ... usually aged around 6-12 months.

It is hard to pick a favorite, more easy to pick out ones I did not care for. But even that is clouded since many Keemun are no longer from Qi Men county or are blended/watered down with so called keemun from other regions. It is like Dong Ding from Taiwan, most are no longer from Dong Ding mountain and the name denotes a style versus an origin.

Most vendors likely have no idea where their Keemun even comes from anymore.

The only Keemun I've had is the Keemun Rhapsody from Adagio. Does anyone know what variety that is? Whatever it is, I like it very much.

I have only had keemun Concerto, Rhapsody and Encore. I like Concerto the best of the three. Maybe I need to try others.

It is sad when the location of origin cannot be ascertained or confirmed. But I do not usually spend large amounts of money on it.
