It originates from Qimen in the Anhui province in central China, where for many hundreds of years green tea until an official named Yu Quianchen came home from a trip to Fujian province, where he had learned all about black tea production.

Keemun is the most sought-after tea in England and considered by many to be one of the world's finest black teas.

Advanced brewing tips: Whilst black tea has a general brewing guide, every type of tea is has its individual character so once you get to know the tea you can adapt the parameters to suit the tea's and your preference. Note that cooler water will bring out more sweetness/softness in the tea but will need slightly longer infusion to achieve a more flavoursome brew. Following this logic hotter water will bring out stronger flavours faster. Also higher tea to water ratio will give more strength.
Porcelain and glass vessels have a neutral flavour and so you will get the most 'honest' result from your brew.
Raw clay (unglazed) e.g Yixing, Zi Ni (purple clay) vessel is recommend for black tea but is also a good all round clay type that goes well with both pu erh types and oolong teas.
