Keemun Tea

About

Keemun Tea in perfumery captures the character of China’s famed Qimen black tea: winey and polished, with malty warmth, cocoa-dust and dried-plum nuances, faint orchid-like florals, and a soft, toasty smokiness over a gently tannic, woody dryness. It evokes quiet elegance—polished wood, amber steam, and contemplative calm. Used chiefly as a refined heart note, it bridges bright citrus tops and woody, musky or leathery bases, adding depth without heaviness. Perfumers often pair it with bergamot, osmanthus, rose, tobacco, incense, spices, and cedar to craft sophisticated black-tea accords.
