Product Story
About Keemun Gongfu
Keemun Gongfu, produced in Qimen County, Anhui Province, has been hailed as the "Most Fragrant Among All Flowers" since its creation in 1875. This tea rose to international fame after winning the Gold Medal at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The unique terroir of Qimen—situated at 30°N latitude with persistent mist and mineral-rich acidic soil—provides the perfect environment for premium tea leaves. The soul of this tea lies in the legendary "Keemun Fragrance", a sophisticated aromatic profile of orchid, honey, and dried fruits that is unique in the world. The term "Gongfu" refers to the labor-intensive refinement process, involving over a dozen meticulous steps after initial processing. This dedication results in a vibrant ruby-red liquor with a mellow, refreshing taste and a lingering sweet aftertaste that captivates connoisseurs globally.
