The story

From rose town to your teacup

The black tea base comes from Qimen in Anhui province, where the local cultivar produces leaves with a distinctive cocoa-like richness. Panda grade marks it as top-tier whole leaf, carefully oxidised to bring out depth without bitterness. This is the tea that made Keemun famous in European blending rooms over a century ago.

The rose petals come from Shandong, a region that has grown roses for well over a thousand years. Mixed with the dark leaves, the petals give each brew a soft floral lift that sits just behind the cocoa notes, never overpowering.

Drink it in the afternoon when you want something a step up from breakfast tea but not quite a full ceremony. It suits a quiet moment, a window seat, maybe a biscuit on the side. The flavour rewards attention, but it is not fussy about how you serve it.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

What does Keemun Rose taste like?

Smooth black tea with cocoa-like depth and a clear rose scent. The florals are noticeable but do not overpower the tea. Think chocolate and old roses rather than perfume.

Does Keemun Rose contain caffeine?

Yes. It is a black tea, so it naturally contains caffeine. If you want something for later in the day, Decaf English Breakfast is a gentler option.

Should I add milk to Keemun Rose?

We would drink it without. A tiny splash softens the rose, but anything more tends to hide the flavours you are paying for.

How many cups will I get from a pouch?

At roughly 2.5g per cup, a 50g pouch makes about 20 cups. The 100g gives you around 40, and the larger bags scale up from there.

How should I store Keemun Rose?

Keep the pouch sealed and store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells like coffee or spices. It will stay fresh for months that way.

Full product details

Keemun Rose blends organic Panda-grade #1 black tea with real rose petals. The tea brings cocoa-like depth and structure; the petals add a clear floral aroma without replacing the black-tea character.

Rose • Cocoa • Fragrant

Who will enjoy it?

Choose it if you like black tea but want a floral change from a breakfast blend. Try it plain first. A small splash of milk softens the rose; a heavy pour can hide it. If you want the Keemun base without petals, compare our Organic Keemun Panda instead.

Keemun Rose FAQs
