Keemun Mao Feng
Last Updated: Jan. 4, 2018
↑About Keemun Mao Feng
Like other Keemun, Keemun Mao Feng tends to have notes of wine, cocoa, and dried fruit. It is not intensely smoky, but usually has a slight smoky or toasty quality to the aroma. Its flavor and mouthfeel may range from very smooth to slightly sharp with a peppery finish.
Although not related to mao feng green tea (such as huang shan mao feng), both teas have similarly shaped leaves (long, flat, and slightly curved), and are considered high grades of tea.
Keemun Mao Feng is one of the styles of Keemun that has been produced outside its region of origin in Qimen county. In Anhui, it is also produced in Xiuning county, and outside of the province, in Hubei.

Premium Qimen Black Tea of Huangshan from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Keemun Mao Feng – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, ChinaJan. 28th, 2021
The aroma is just a classic bready black tea smell which is very nice however it lacks complexity and was very one-noted. The taste on the other hand was incredibly smooth and was one of the least astringent teas I've ever had (which is a good thing for me). The taste wasn't extremely complex but the flavors it did hav...

I continue to branch out into black teas from provinces other than Yunnan, sold by Yunnan Sourcing. This was a pleasant surprise: an exceptionally smooth tea, easy to brew and easy to drink, among the sweetest Keemuns I've tried.
The dry leaf is very fine and curly, so much it is shaped more like Bi Luo Chun than li...

Finally, a good Keemun! The dry tea has an aroma of aged wood, with a smoky scent that's more like the smokiness of a smoked cheese than the harsh smokiness of lower quality Keemun. I brewed it in a French press with water that hadn't reached boiling yet. The brewed tea has a similar aroma to the dry leaves, but this a...
Read Full ReviewI'm having a hard time rating this tea. It smelled pretty bad to me, like burnt pine. I guess that's the smokiness. The flavor was nicely earthy and slightly chocolaty with the occasional subtle fruit note. I enjoyed the flavor, but hated the aroma. I always knew it was done brewing and would taste the way I liked it w...

Based on my experiences with black gunpowder, I was not surprised that this doesn't taste like Mao Feng at all. It's more like other Chinese black teas I've had. It's got just a tiny little bit of sweetness but it's hardly there. It's pleasantly almost-bitter (but I did make it pretty strong).
Resteeps quite decently...
