Keemun Aromatic Snail
A fragrant Keemun black tea with a springtime floral aroma, gentle notes of dried fruit and cocoa, and a smooth finish reminiscent of dried apricot.
The name Keemun comes from Qimen County in Anhui, China — a scenic, remote region where tea bushes grow along misty mountain slopes, giving this tea its elegant character.
Keemun has several styles, each defined by subtle differences in processing. Aromatic Snail is the newest among them — developed only about ten years ago by combining the traditional production methods of Keemun tea and that of Bi Luo Chun green tea. Only tiny leaf buds and one or two young leaves are picked for this tea.
