Hm ... everything is possible ... but what puzzles me is, that you
decribe keemun as fruity. I never drank a fruity keemun (and I've
drunk lots of it).
Keemun for me is toasty, even sometimes a bit smokey, and everytime
with a light natural sweetness.
Besides, it goes very well with a malty assam second flush (3 assam :1
keemun or 4:1, the latter, if the keemun is a smokey one) and a splash
o' milk (real one with natural cream, not that fat-reduced or zero%
shit)! Just try this for a breakfast brew.
