We are a chinese keemun producer in Qimen County,China. I was really annoyed when talking with a merchant ( to spare trouble,I don't say which country)online after he said that china only can produce poor black tea. I argued that china is able to produce the best black tea in the world such as keemun,Lapsang Souchong and Yunnan black tea. You don't know that because you only source the tea of very very low price.
I know in recent years,keemun has been shadowed by Darjeeling,Asam and Cylon but I think the main reason is that the annual production of chinese black tea is small except Yunan black so we are not so competitive in price instead of reasons for taste and flavor.
We wish to hear more comments from tea lovers
