Annual output and falsification


The report released by Keemun Black Tea Association showed the annual output of Keemun Black Tea in 2006 amounted to 2409 tons among which the quantity of the first top grade HAO YA A(毫芽A) is only 2 tons and the second top grade Hao Ya B (毫芽B) 10 tons.According to the statistic we gathered, the year-to-year output increase is around 7%,with a growth rate of about 3% in both Keemun Hao Ya A and B.
Compared to Darjeeling teas or Ceylon teas,the quantity of Keemun Black Tea produced each year is very low,not enough to meet the huge demand.
The consequence…
Many factories take advantage of Keemun's celebrity status to profiteer.Their teas differ much in flavor and taste from Keemun ,even not reaching the basic standards of Keemun Tea.I think it is why somebody told me "I can't see why Keemun is a famous tea?".The words really hurt me but also spur me to work against falsification and protect the fame of Keemun Black Tea.Now china has lagged behind India in protecting work.We should make efforts to make a change.
