Keemun Tea History
Keemun locates in Anhui Province, China. It is namable for its tea.In the middle of the last century, a mistake occurred in China in the manufacture of a specific tea. That tea was KEEMUN.
Until that mistake, this tea had always been processed as a green tea.
An Imperial Army was passing through a specific part of the province of Anhui. It was the area in which Keemun was picked and processed. A high ranking officer needed quarters for his officers to over-night in and the only available space large enough was a tea factory.
The factory was in the process of manufacturing Keemun (Quemon-Mandarin Dialect). The Imperial General Officer threw the tea factory workers out, even though they were in the middle of processing a batch of tea, and took over the factory.
The officers stayed only one night and left the next morning. After they had left, the factory workers hurried back to inspect the tea. Alas, it had been naturally processed into a black tea because it had not been fired to prevent the process.
The tea was cupped by the Tea Factory Master and proclaimed to excellent.
Keemun, from that point on was now processed as a black tea, although some rare and expensive Keemun green tea is still manufactured.
