I drink it black. In fact, I drink all my teas "black". Keemuns run the gamut from pretty rough to sublime. A good Keemun should have a pronounced earthy nose and produce a deep red liquor that is smooth and mellow. The absolute best I've ever had was Keemun Xian Zhen from TeaSpring, in China, but that's way too pricey for every day drinking. The Lion Mountain Keemun I drink more regularly comes from Peet's in the US, but has been only sporadically available in the last year. So I bought a pound of it, but that's getting low. Hopefully they'll make another batch available soon, since this has been the best reasonably priced Keemun I've found. Another good one, from a Canadian source, is Murchie's Keemun Extra Superior.

One of the unusual things about Keemuns is that they actually age well and tend to improve over the first year or two.

Right now, drinking some more of that Lion Mountain Keemun. Yumm.
