祁门红茶 · Qi Men Hong Cha

making it a straightforward expression of the broader Keemun tea family.

Traditional Craft

The packaging states:

传统工艺 · Traditional Craft

giving the tea a classic Chinese loose-leaf identity.

Generous 500 g Format

This is the defining advantage of this version.

At 500 g, it is designed for:

Regular Tea Drinking · Home Tea · Office Tea · Family Tea · Frequent Brewing

Everyday Black Tea

This version should not be positioned as a small premium sampler.

Its strength is:

More Keemun for Regular Drinking

Use it in a gaiwan when you have more time.

Use an infuser mug when you do not.

The same leaves can generally be explored over several infusions.


What Is Keemun Black Tea?

祁门红茶 · Qimen Hong Cha · Keemun Black Tea

Keemun is the traditional English-market name for Qimen Hong Cha.

In modern pinyin, the Chinese name is written:

Qimen

while:

Keemun

is the historically established spelling widely recognized in international tea markets.

For an English-language tea store, using both is useful:

Keemun for International Recognition

Qimen for Chinese Tea Identity


Why Does the Package Say “Red Tea”?

The package uses the English words:

RED TEA

This follows the literal meaning of the Chinese category:

红茶 · Hong Cha

In Chinese tea terminology, black tea is called “red tea” because of the warm reddish or amber color of the brewed liquor.

In standard English tea classification, however, this product belongs to:

Black Tea

So on your Shopify store, the correct primary category is:

Black Tea

not herbal red tea.


A Classic Chinese Black Tea Tradition

Keemun gives customers another way to explore Chinese black tea.

Jin Jun Mei brings one style.

Zhengshan Xiaozhong brings another.

Dian Hong represents Yunnan.

Keemun brings the Qimen black-tea tradition.

Each tea has its own rhythm.

Its own leaf.

Its own aroma.

Its own cup.

Different Traditions · Different Tea Moments


A Warmer Side of Chinese Tea

Green tea often begins with freshness.

Keemun moves into something warmer.

Darker leaves.

A deeper infusion.

A more rounded tea experience.

It fits naturally into:

Morning Tea · Afternoon Tea · Cooler Weather · Quiet Desk Moments · Shared Pots

Warm · Smooth · Unhurried


From Dark Leaf to Amber-Red Cup

Add the leaves.

Pour the water.

Wait.

The dry leaves begin to soften.

Clear water slowly changes.

Pale gold.

Amber.

Then a deeper amber-red tone.

Bring the cup closer.

Notice the aroma.

Take the first sip.

Keep the leaves nearby.

Pour again.

Gongfu Brewing

Explore Keemun Through Short Infusions

For a smaller traditional-style tea session:

Tea: Approx. 5 g
Water: 100–120 mL
Temperature: 90–95°C / 194–203°F
First Infusions: Approx. 10–20 Seconds

Decant completely between infusions.

Gradually extend the steeping time as the leaves continue to open.

Gaiwan for a Focused Tea Session

Simple Porcelain. More Attention to the Tea.

Warm the gaiwan.

Add the leaves.

Pour hot water.

Steep briefly.

Decant completely.

Infuser Mug for Everyday Brewing

Loose-Leaf Keemun Made Simple

A large 500 g format should be easy to use regularly.

An infuser mug makes that simple.

Add the leaves.

Pour the water.

Steep.

Lift the infuser.

Sip.

Keep the leaves for another cup.

Traditional Chinese black tea can fit naturally into an ordinary day.

Add · Steep · Lift · Sip


500 g for Regular Tea Drinking

The package contains:

500 g Keemun Black Tea

Using approximately 3 g per everyday brewing session, 500 g provides roughly:

166 Tea Portions

Actual usage depends on personal preference.

Because the same leaves can generally be brewed multiple times, the total number of individual cups can be much higher.

This makes the 500 g version especially suitable for:

Daily Tea · Office Tea · Family Tea · Frequent Brewing · Regular Keemun Drinkers

500 g · Multiple Infusions · Everyday Value


A Large Format That Makes Sense

A 100 g or 125 g product is ideal for discovery.

A 500 g product serves another purpose.

It lets customers stop treating Keemun as an occasional tea.

Brew it in the morning.

Make another cup later.

Share a pot.

Experiment with brewing.

Return to it tomorrow.

More Tea · More Brewing · More Everyday Moments


Keep a Smaller Daily Portion

With a 500 g package, you do not need to expose the entire supply every time you make tea.

A practical approach is:

Keep the main pouch carefully sealed.

Transfer a smaller amount into a clean, dry tea canister for daily use.

Refill only when needed.

This helps reduce repeated exposure of the main supply to air and moisture.

Daily Canister · Sealed Main Supply · Better Storage
