The story
Why Keemun earned its reputation
Keemun teas have been made in Anhui Province since the 1870s, and the finest grades still command respect. Panda #1 sits at the top: carefully processed leaves with a glossy black appearance and a depth that unfolds rather than hits you over the head. This is not a tea that shouts.
In the cup you get soft cocoa undertones, gentle fruit sweetness and that distinctive burgundy-like richness that Keemun is known for. Some people call it winey; others say it reminds them of toast straight from the oven. Either way, the flavour deepens as the cup cools, revealing more with each sip.
This is an afternoon tea for sitting with, not gulping on the way out the door. If you like a fine red wine or dark chocolate, the same appreciation for slow complexity applies here. Give it a proper moment.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
What does Keemun Panda taste like?
Smooth and full-bodied with fruity, wine-like depth and soft cocoa undertones. It has a refined sweetness rather than anything malty or brisk. The flavour deepens as the cup cools.
Does Keemun Panda contain caffeine?
Yes, it contains natural caffeine. It is a proper black tea, so expect a similar caffeine level to other Chinese black teas.
Can I add milk to Keemun Panda?
You can, but it is best without. The subtle winey notes and cocoa depth are easier to appreciate in a clean cup. A splash of milk would soften things, but you would lose some of the complexity.
How many cups will I get from 100g?
Using roughly 2.5g per cup (one teaspoon), 100g gives you around 40 cups. The leaves hold up well to a second steep too.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. Stored properly, Keemun can keep for a long time and may develop a more mellow character.
Full product details
Organic Keemun Panda is a prestigious Chinese loose leaf black tea with serious elegance — smooth, complex and quietly mesmerising.

This is the kind of black tea you drink a little cooler to catch every layer — the flavour deepens as it sits, revealing more of that polished “fine red wine” character with each sip.
If you want a premium Chinese black tea that feels special from leaf to finish (and absolutely earns the “Panda” name), Organic Keemun Panda is a standout.
