Someone on the board had a Keemun related question. I answered it to the best of my abilities and decided it was inspiring me.
So I went and made me a cup. It’s been a while since I’ve had Keemun. The smoky overtone to it and the sweetness and grainyness of the body.
Didn’t come out so awesomely today, though. My timer has run out of battery and I can’t for the life of me find a new one in that size! That’s what you get when you buy a cheap kitchen timer.

Indigobloom, I agree. If it’s smoky, I’m in. :)
Politicalmachine, to me it has a smoky note. It’s entirely possible that you experience the same note as something else. You’re right it’s not a smoked tea, but it does have a naturally occuring pseudo-smoke note to me. In the same vein, some people think Gunpowder have a pseudo-smoke note to it, but I can’t find that at all.

ah smoked tea… so delicious :)
smoky? that’s something i don’t normally associate a keemun with..
