Seven Cups Qimen Caixia (Sunrise Keemun)

We love a strong, malty tea in the parlor, especially for breakfast. One of our local tea rooms, Seven Cups, offers a delicious keemun, Qimen Caixia, harvested from Anhui Province. It is a lovely red when steeped, with a mild fragrance. We've been enjoying it a lot, but have only one quibble--we have yet to get multiple infusions from it (or any other tea, for that matter). It just might convert a die hard coffee drinker.
