Reviews for Keemun 1110 Full-Leaf Tea

Smooth and mild
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Light enough for evening drinking.
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

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.

tasteless, no aroma, not keemun
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

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.

Best Tea I've Ever Had!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Yes a smooth Black tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Great tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Keemun - An Extraordinary Value
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Nice, full bodied taste
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

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.

A beautiful tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Love this delicate tea
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Surprisingly smooth

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.

Hearty and full bodied
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Exceptionally smooth
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Fantastic!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.
