'''Keemun''' is a black Chinese tea with a winy and fruity taste, designated as a [[China Famous Tea]].

Line 6:

Keemun is produced in the Qimen County of Huangshan City, in Anhui (Anhwei) province. ("Keemun" has been the English spelling for "Qimen" since the colonial era.)

Keemun has a relatively short history. It was first produced in 1875 by a failed civil servant, Yu Quianchen, after he traveled to Fujian province to learn the secrets of black tea production. Prior to that, only [[green tea]] was made in Anhui. The result exceeded his expectations, and the excellent Keemun tea quickly gained popularity in England, and became the most prominent ingredient of the [[English ~~Breakfast~~ tea]] blend.
