👑 The Queen of Black Tea Conquers the World 👑
Crown Jewel of British Afternoon Tea since 1885, Triple Gold Medalist at World Expos

📖 THE GLOBAL ODYSSEY
When the first chest of Keemun arrived at London docks in 1875, tea blenders marveled at its "orchid aroma layered with alpine honey". It soon became the backbone of Earl Grey blend, favored from Buckingham Palace to Russian Tsars' winter palaces. Each leaf carries the legacy of China's most celebrated black tea export.
