Keemun is one of the most popular Black/Red Teas in the Western world. Coming from Anhui province in China, this tea was first introduced to the UK in 1875 when it contributed to a new wave in the popularity of black tea. Keemun Tea is one of the ingredients of the higher quality English Breakfast tea blends, and it is often consumed on its own as a breakfast style tea.
