Qimen is located in the golden tea-producing belt at 30 degrees north latitude. The local natural conditions of "four mores and one less" - many mountains, many clouds, much fog, much rain, and little direct sunlight - provide an excellent environment for the growth of tea trees.

Keemun is a historical reputed black tea in China. It was produced during Qing Dynasty at the Keemun County and surrounding areas at Anhui Province (安徽省 An-hui Sheng). In the first year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1875), tea farmers in Anhui created Keemun black tea. Before that, Qimen only produced green tea, not black tea, and the market was not good at that time. Hu Yuanlong, a native of Guixi in the southern part of Qimen, planned to build a tea factory, using his own tea leaves and asking a master to try to make black tea. After continuous improvements, he finally made a high-quality black tea with excellent color, fragrance, taste and shape, and Hu Yuanlong became the founder of Qimen black tea.
