So, although I haven’t been on steepster much the past few weeks, I fortunately happened to have the time and focus to check on the day it was announced that A&D were having free shipping to Canada – yay! So I decided to try a couple thing I have been wanting; this being one of them.

I made a cup of this shortly after my package arrived, and was quite pleased with this tasty keemun. Earthy, floral and fruity, with perhaps the lightest hint of smoke. Delicious and flavourful!

It will probably be there tomorrow! I ordered on the 1st, it shipped on the 2nd, and then arrived yesterday. :)

It’s very good and different from other Keemuns I tried( not that I tried many)

I went back to my notes. You should try it @ 5 min. If doesn’t get bitter or astringent

I will try longer next time. It might have been more like 3 minutes this cup as sometimes I don’t pay attention.. :)

If you try longer steep can you tell me if you noticed this tea gets slightly salty? It really bugs me that nobody mentioned it in their tastings. Am I the only one who got it ?

I remember reading that note about it being salty! I’ll try and have some tomorrow with a longer steep.
