Wow, I just made up a pot of my new keemun mao feng and it is indeed very
smokey. My last order from the same company was more chocolate-y than
smokey. It almost isn't the same tea!

I got a sample of Specialteas basic everyday Keemun the other day...and I
am really surprised. It's been over a year I think since I ran out of my
last batch of keemun (a keemun mao feng...can't remember where I got it)
and I don't remember it being smokey, but I've heard people use this term
when describing keemun and I can say that yeah, this keemun I have now is
indeed just a touch smokey. I mean smokey in a Lapsang Souchong kinda way.
I'm really surprised by it though. Does anyone know why it might be this
way...do they smoke any keemun over fires in China when they produce it, or
is it only certain grades, or...? In fact, any info on keemun production
would be interesting to me, if you have it. Thanks!
