Wild Keemun

Wang Kui Qimen Hong Cha is one of the most famous red teas in China. However, we offer here a harvest of tea master Wang Kui of special quality. The leaves are plucked from isolated tea bushes in the upper mountain regions near Qimen. Due to the slow growth of the leaves in the high altitudes, the tea develops a wonderful and expressive taste with a long lasting aroma. Frisch geernete Teeblätter Even the freshly plucked leaves of the wild tea trees are clearly distinguished by their more intense and aromatic scent compared to harvests from conventional plantations in the lower regions. The tea farmers use this quality only for their own needs, as their harvest is very labour-intensive and the local markets no longer differentiate the quality of the leaves. Such harvests therefore do not even reach the Chinese market. The fact that we can offer tea here is due to our personal contacts and the commitment of tea master Wang Qui. He organises the picking of the tea leaves for us with the help of villagers in the upper mountain regions near Qimen (English: Keemun). Another special feature is the subsequent processing in the traditional way. The traditional method offers additional taste advantages over the usual mechanical method. It is more elaborate and leads to the original appearance of the tea with fully preserved young buds, which present themselves in the tea as shown above, wonderfully fragrant and light.
