Black Jasmine tea is very popular in Northern China and hardly ever finds its way to the markets to be exported. The manufacturing processes of black and green Jasmine teas are almost identical, but the dark variety is sometimes made with a different base tea. Our base, for example, comes from the sunkissed slopes of Yunnan, which results in a tea with much more strength and spiciness as well as a hint of pleasantly sweet jasmine flavor.

Experienced tea experts carefully process this tea from the Eastern part of the Chinese Province of Fujian by hand and according to tradition. It presents a pleasantly aromatic, mild and full-bodied taste with a very slight smoky note. The leaf has been rolled to pearls and has a shining anthracite colour, which is why it is also known as "Black Pearls". The infusion is medium-dark, the bouquet aromatic and round.

Keemun is one of the most important teas in China. It is grown in the province of Anhui, in Central China. Despite its great popularity it has only been produced since 1875. Before this time, only green teas had been produced in Anhui. Our Keemun OP is a soft, finely aromatic and very mild tea, with a marvellous, regular Sinensis leaf. The cup colour shines dark red; the bouquet is spicy and sweetish.

Located in south-western China, Yunnan is the home of this exceptional black tea. This tea is plucked only between the end of March and mid-April, depending on the weather, and produced according to a special method. This tea is cultivated at altitudes ranging between 1,800 and 2,100 m, in an area with a cool climate and natural woodland. The big, finely worked, tobacco-like leaf with many golden tips yields a copper-coloured cup and a strong, spicy, malty flavour combined with the typically soft, earthy Yunnan character.
