Congou teas, being most Chinese black teas exported to the West, are the most well-known. North China (Congo) and South China are the two main regions.
Originating in the southern region of China, Congou is a kind of Congo. The Kiangsu, Anhui, and Hunan Congo’s from north China were your standard English breakfast blends.
Among these Congo’s, the Keemuns have the most public profile. The 3 Monkey Keemun is remarkable for many things. Value-wise, it’s hard to beat, and the flavour is complex and delicious to boot. It might be difficult to put your finger on the Three Monkeys scent. The Chinese compare the aroma of Three Monkeys to the fragrance of an orchid, while those with a less lyrical bent compare it to freshly baked bread. According to popular belief, Three Monkeys is a typical English breakfast tea because its aroma improves when milk is added to it.
This exceptional tea is made from fine, finely rolled leaves that produce a thick crimson spirit with a flavour that is deep, rich, and concentrated, somewhat unlike the best Burgundy wines.
When properly preserved, Keemun black tea may last for years and develop a smooth, winey flavour.
