Seventh Contender

Name: Keenun Concerto
Source: Adagio
Price: $12 for 4 oz.
Recommended steep time: 5 minutes (4 for me)
Comments: Another outsider in contention... I'd never had Keenun tea before, but as it came with the black tea sampler from Adagio Teas, I thought I'd give it a try. I also tried Keenun with lichee fruit from Gong Fu (a sample in their store, I won't review it here), which I quite liked. Anyway...this one was also good. Don't oversteep! It was a little bitter for me at 5 minutes. Familiar and different at the same time. Very hard to describe here! It's what I think of as a black version of Chinese green tea. Does that make any sense? I tried it black and with milk, and I actually preferred it black. The more I drank it, the more I liked it. It won't be an every day tea for me, although I found myself craving it yesterday and treated myself to a cup! I will write some information about Keenun soon.
2nd Steep: Good the second time around too.
Rating: 4 cups
