I love the subtle complexity of this tea! It is smooth, rich and ever so slightly sweet. It has a tiny bit of astringency and maltiness as well.
I can’t really say that I found anything in this black tea to make it stand out. If you are looking for a very mild and gentle end of evening black tea this may fit the bill.
Just LOVE this tea.
My wife and I have been drinking this tea at breakfast for many years. Never tire of it.
I thought this would be a heavier tea but was pleasantly surprised by its subtle sweetness and classic “tea” taste.
I love this tea, very rich and bold without being too strong.
Real good stuff
This is my go-to tea when I have time for a leisurely brew. The best way to start a day.
This is one of our favorite special teas. It is richly flavored and has a beautiful malty honey finish.
This is my favorite black tea, It has just the right level of flavor and strength
My husband’s fav tea (mine is Golden Yunnan), we’ve been buying Keemun1110 for years and thoroughly enjoy it!! Great flavor.
Proper Keeman has an unmistakable woody flavor. What you call Keeman looks and tastes like floor dust from a tea packing facility. How come? Are you that incompetent or this fraudulent substitution was intentional? Does not matter. I don't have to buy from you.
Wow! After two years of drinking exclusively tea from tea bags and mostly varieties with added herbs/ spices, I've gotten more into just pure, black tea, so I finally decided I needed to dip my toes into loose-leaf. On a spur of the moment I decided to splurge for this more expensive tea, and I couldn't be more thrilled I did! I was always skeptical that I would be able to tell the difference between different varieties of black tea, let alone based on the region it was grown, but as soon as I tasted this all doubts were done. Clearly lighter and a bit sweeter than the British or Irish Breakfast I've had, it is amazing with just 1/2 tsp of sugar, or sometimes none at all. Highly recommend, although I admit it probably won't be a particularly regular purchase due to the cost.
This is one of my favorite tasting black teas out of their whole collection. There's just so much flavor, it's one of my teas I never run out of
This is our House breakfast tea. Deep flavor, even when re-steeped.
Mellow, not too sweet or astringent.
This rich well-bodied tea is a great choice for a first cup of the day. This Keemun has a rich lightly sweet and yeasty aroma (like a bakery) undertone. The tea itself has a nice rich taste, it is the depth of a breakfast tea with no herby notes. The finish is clean with no bite.
Keemun Black Tea loose is the best black tea I have ever had. I drink a lot of tea. Already ordered more
Mellow darkness in every sip, with rich earthtones and hints of honey.
One of our favs.
This is my favorite tea. Mild, smooth and flavorful. Great any time of day.
I love this loose leaf Keemun. It's hard to find companies that carry Keemun. It reminds me of a very refined (smooth) Darjeeling. The only detractor is the cost, but inflation has hit everything.
We've enjoyed Keemun 1110 for years and order it regularly. It has a rich, complex flavor and competes with teas well above its price point. We particularly love it on a cold autumn or winter day, especially after being out in the snow. The Republic of Tea's offerings are always of the highest quality, fresh and delivered quickly. The web site is well put together and makes ordering extremely easy.
This tea is perfect. It is not like other black teas, it have a unique flavor. I use this tea to make Chai, and i would recommend this for anyone! Go ahead and take a sip!
Wonderful bold taste. Full bodily yet smooth enough to drink all day.
I love keemun teas and this is the most intense one I've tried. You have to love the smoky, cocoa hints of keemun but if you do, this is wonderful.
Very nice smooth black tea with no bitterness
Keemun is a rich and mellow tea I drink every morning to start my day. I don't like to be without it.
I have no idea how to describe how a tea tastes. I am a former coffee drinker, so I like strong, full tasting black teas. This tea is similar to English Breakfast with perhaps a little astringency (brightness?) to it. It's very good, but I'm still searching for that ultimate tea.
Love this tea..bought this tea to try to get the purist black tea available..this tea did not disappoint
This is by far the best!!! Keemun I've tried in the past 10yrs. If u like Ceylon, Yunnan, Assam, Irish, Eng Breakfast, or even Scotch or beer on occasion -then u will truly appreciate this loose leaf. It's SOoooo good!
Best black RoT tea of all I've tried.
I purchased this tea to make Iced Thai Tea and it was great. A nice full flavor; very soothing on ice.
Keemun 1110 Full-Leaf is a complex, beautiful tea. Slightly smokey, but not at all bitter or ashey tasting. The very faint chocolate like notes enhance the flavour amazingly, without overpowering or taking away from the tea. I was able to get three different cup brewings out of one serving of leaves so, even for the price point, it's a fantastic deal.
The flavor of this tea is very delicate and yet still has a slightly hearty aftertaste. It really can be steeped twice and both cups have the same strength. I would recommend giving this a try. I will definitely purchase this again.
Of all the teas that I have ordered from ROT, this has to be the best of them so far. I awake early and brew this most mornings and I sets my mood on the right track for the rest of the day. david
This is a strong, smooth cup. I can't say that my palate is developed enough to get the chocolate I read about...but this is great tea that brews a good, strong cup that is easy to sip.
Everything a good Keemun should be. Very rich, hearty, and puts hair on your chest. Very chocolaty, almost an espresso essence. I found that if I steeped it for 4 minutes it was a bit too strong for my taste, so I only steep for two minutes. Save the leaves for a second cup!
This tea is perfection in a cup. Every time I indulge in this tea I realize it's power. There is no way you cannot be fully present during the experience. The world slows down while I enjoy the crisp and unforgettable flavor that I have found nowhere else. I am redoubling my order.
Simply Bliss in a pot!
This is very similar to All Day Breakfast, but without the Oolong complexity. This tea is good, but I prefer the other.
This is an exceptionally smooth tea with a subtle, intriguing flavor. I liked it very much, but I need to drink it a few more time to decide if it's one of my favorites. It does not become bitter with reheating, which is a big plus for me.
Keemun 1110 is real gem; it's a solid tea that tastes like it should cost twice as much. The taste of chocolate is the central agent here (though far from overpowering), with a smokey presence weaving in and out of the chocolate flavor to create a rich sip. With this sort of taste profile, you might expect it to be bitter, but the opposite is actual true here: it's slightly sweet. A great tea for any time.
