About
Some beautiful things in life are simple. Rich and mellow, this organic tea is an ideal base for blends; it also brews a very enjoyable morning cup. 

The rich, chunky leaves of this particular batch are full of flavour, and compared to other harvests, steamed for a shorter period of time and dried for longer. This results in a duller appearance, but a milder, less astringent taste. 

Origin & History
This particular batch of China Black Keemun was farmed organically in the hills of Central Hunan Province, where the southern climate gives the leaves a very distinct character. 

Keemun (Qimen in pinyin or 祁门 in Chinese characters) is a classic tea style from Huang Shan; the cultivar is ideal for a highly oxidized style of tea.

About 
Delicate and harmonious, Organic Meiji Sunset invites you into a world of enchanting contrast. Embrace bright notes of dark fruit, a ballet of balanced tannins, and a well-rounded mouthfeel. 

This tea is an ode to intensity wrapped in elegance, and is a perfect companion to a luxurious breakfast or 5pm break. 

It requires no accompaniment of milk or citrus, as the inherent power of the flavour shines through; however, it graciously accepts the company of either, merging strength with subtlety. 

Origin & History
Embark on a sensory journey to Tanegashima, a jewel among the Osumi Islands in the southern Kagoshima Prefecture. Tanegashima's volcanic soil is nurtured by abundant rainfall, and the land is home to a breathtaking array of birds. 

In the bygone eras of Meiji and Taisho, Japan crafted black tea of unparalleled quality for export to the Western world. Alas, the tides of a World War and the rise of the British Empire's Eastern colonies as the preferred origin for black tea dimmed Japan's export glow. Today, only a small fraction of Japanese tea is made in a 'black' style. 

Kuritwase (Tanegashima's emblematic cultivar) is a rarity elsewhere in Japan. Celebrated for yielding exceptionally delicious tea, both green and black, it weaves a tale of tradition and taste. 

Origin: Tanegashima, Japan
