Experience the pinnacle of Keemun black tea with our 2025 "High Aroma - Hero Tea," a Special Grade selection meticulously crafted in the heart of Anhui province. This tea embodies the rich heritage and exceptional quality of authentic Qi Men Hong Cha.
Dry Leaf Appearance: The leaves are distinguished by their uniform, neat, and tightly rolled strips, indicative of careful processing and excellent purity. They possess a deep, lustrous raven-black hue, with subtle golden tips (Jin Hao) delicately interspersed, a hallmark of premium Keemun. Even before brewing, the leaves exude a remarkably high and enduring fragrance.
Liquor, Aroma & Flavor Profile: Upon infusion, this Keemun yields a brilliant and clear, vibrant red liquor. The aroma is exceptionally high and long-lasting, a signature of its superior quality. The taste is clean, crisp, and pleasantly sweet.
Crafted through multiple, precise high-temperature roastings, this tea is impressively durable, maintaining its character and releasing nuanced flavors over many infusions. The meticulous high-fire technique, supervised by an Intangible Cultural Heritage master using traditional charcoal fire methods, develops its signature high aroma and a profoundly mellow, rich taste. Expect a delightful warm sweetness upon entry, with pronounced notes of rich caramel unfolding gracefully. This fragrant,醇 (chún - mellow and full-bodied), and sweet character circulates beautifully in each cup. The repeated high-temperature roastings, with strictly controlled temperature and duration, are key to forming its enticing caramel aroma and its more fragrant, mellow, and intensely satisfying mouthfeel.
