Keemun Maofeng (or Qimen Maofeng) is a very high-quality Chinese black tea, originating from the Qimen district in Anhui province. It is one of the most prestigious varieties of the renowned Keemun black tea.

It is a black tea (hongcha) produced using a traditional Chinese method.

The term “Maofeng” literally means “fluffy tip”: it refers to a fine plucking style, consisting of buds and young leaves.

The shoots are harvested in the spring and then shaped into lightly twisted leaves.

Keemun Maofeng is renowned for:

• floral and fruity aromas, sometimes reminiscent of orchid,
• a subtle hint of cocoa or caramel,
• a smooth taste with no bitterness,
• a very elegant amber-red liquor.

Among Keemun teas, Maofeng is considered one of the most refined, often compared to the world's most prestigious artisanal black teas.
