Flavor Profile

What does Keemun Mao Feng taste like?

Keemun Mao Feng is a leaf-grade Keemun made from whole buds and leaves rather than broken grades, named after the downy 'mao feng' leaf style. The cup keeps classic Keemun character — cocoa, dark fruit, and a hint of orchid — but shows more freshness and aromatics than chopped grades, with a silky body and a long, sweet finish. It is the tea to try when you want to taste Keemun's floral side, and it benefits from slightly cooler water and a shorter steep.
