Keemun comes from the hills around Qimen in Anhui, where the leaf is withered slowly and rolled into fine wiry threads before it is dried.
It is a gentle black tea: cocoa and dried plum, with a faint smoke in the background. It suits a quiet afternoon and a piece of dark chocolate.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
