One of the best chinese black tea, keemun is produced in anhui province, famous for bamboo forests and the mild and humid climate. It was a civil servant suddenly unemployed, yu quianchen, to fine-tune the process in 1875. Valued for the distinctive floral aroma reminiscent of rose and orchid, keemun produced a soft, slightly astringent red infusion, with notes of cocoa and a fruity flavor that makes it referred to as the “burgundy” of teas.
