Keemun
Keemun is an extension of the hanson temperament, and tempers out 49/48, 56/55, and 100/99 in the 11-limit. This means it uses the same simple mappings for the 7th and 11th harmonics as orgone. Unfortunately, the optimal tunings for the 3rd and 5th harmonics is substantially flatter than that for the 7th & 11th ones, requiring you to compromise one set for the other. The edos that support keemun in their patent vals are 4edo, 15edo, 19edo, and 34edo, with 49d and 64bde coming closer to balancing the errors equally.
This temperament was originally discovered by Dave Keenan and named by Herman Miller in 2006 after the Chinese black tea[1][2]
