I don't know. The flavouring is done to mask inferior qualities. Considering this why should they say which it is. They have a quite thorough searching system on their website that states i.e. the time of day this tea is recommended for. When the Tzar Aleksandre is recommended for evening I know it must be low in thein and thus has to be a Keemun... For those who are well schooled in tea this is enought and for those who are not they don't care anyway.
The unflavoured teas are described very well. I should think this is good enough.
