Qimen Hong Cha (Keemun)

Qimen Hong Cha (Keemun) is grown in Qimen, Anhui, from Qunti bushes and baked low and slow. This is the 2026 spring flush.

In the cup it reads floral and cocoa, with a medium roast and high caffeine. Brew 4g in 150ml of 95°C water for 3 minutes, and the leaf will give three good infusions.

We buy this lot direct from the people who make it and name the village it comes from. Nothing is blended across farms, and nothing is held in a warehouse overseas — the tea is packed at origin and shipped in small batches.

Black tea takes near-boiling water and a medium-length steep. Gongfu style gives a cleaner cup than a mug; western style, steep three minutes and remove the leaf completely.

Every order is packed to order and shipped within 48 hours from Fuzhou. Standard shipping is free on orders over $60.00 and arrives in 7–12 days; express is $18.00 and arrives in 3–5 days. Unopened tea can be returned within 30 days of delivery — full terms are in our shipping and returns policies.
