This premium Keemun black tea is crafted from the famous Zhu Ye Zhong cultivar in Anhui Province. It features a unique broken appearance with prominent golden tips and offers a balanced medium caffeine boost with high relaxation from theanine. This exquisite tea is perfect for tea connoisseurs, black tea lovers, and anyone seeking a high-quality, deeply soothing brew.

The dry leaves have a rich honey and floral aroma with a signature sweet fragrance. When brewed, the liquor turns a bright, clear red color that fills the room with a fresh and sweet scent. Every sip tastes mellow, thick, and tender, leaving a smooth and delicate mouthfeel. The remaining brewed leaves stay bright, even, and full of fine buds.

Xiangyuan Tea holds the authentic Keemun lineage and protects its Intangible Cultural Heritage techniques. Twelve heritage masters strictly control the complex production process, which includes seventeen traditional steps. The tea leaves undergo precise fermentation, two meticulous drying cycles, and careful manual sorting. This traditional cutting and screening process creates the authentic broken style that defines classic Keemun tea.

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:150. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water (100°C), and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing. 

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:50. Brew with water at 95°C. For the first infusion, steep for about 4 seconds. Gradually increase the steeping time by about 3 seconds with each additional infusion, for up to five infusions. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.
