Keemun Imperial
My Review
The name of this tea is surely a throwback to the days of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, when Keemun was one of the Imperial Tribute Teas. The emperor of the day commanded an exclusive right over the Imperial Tribute teas, which were given him by loyal followers for whom the ‘gift’ was little more than a tax payment.
Narien Teas’ Keemun Imperial is a black tea with a slight smokiness and a buttery note reminiscent of Yunnan’s black teas. This is a refined tea with a very smooth texture, but it lacks a little in depth.

Yongchun Fo Shou (Bergamot) Oolong
A mild, delicate kind of oolong that sits very well on the palate.
Vietnamese Loose Puerh
Come and enjoy a pu-erh that starts slow but blossoms around the third infusion with a surge of sweet smokiness.
