Keemun Mao Feng (Keemun Hair Peak) .Jing Tea
February 17, 2007 at 11:41 pm | In Black Tea, Keemun, Tea Reviews |review sample from JingTea.com (UK).
this is a nice keemun, an interresting great keemun. … its got a little suprise.
Leaf:
LEFT: Keemun Mao Feng: leaf is longer, more delicate, with a curly appearance.
RIGHT: Keemun Hao Ya (regular keemun).
.
Method: 3min @ ~90C/198F (yes. who brews black tea @ less than boiling…. yes… who… me that’s who.)
Taste: Infusion 1, 2 : smells like keemun, tastes like keemun, woody-chocolaty-keemuny yup, …but there is a little extra flavor somewhere there… @infusion 4 -> here it is: the flavor turns to a mao fengish green tea…(?) Might be that the tea is not enough oxidized/fermented to a ‘perfect’ black tea status. not sure.
so, taste overall: 4.7/7.
Overall: its an ok tea, not to my liking though.
