This exceptional black tea, Ruby Black or Red Jade from Yuchi, is crafted from the Hong Yu TRES No. 18 cultivar. The name Hong Yu translates as Red Jade, lending the tea its evocative title.
Our Ruby Black hails from the Yuchi region, nestled beside the picturesque Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County, Taiwan. Its large, twisted dark leaves produce a radiant infusion, reminiscent of polished red jade.
Renowned for its distinctive spiced mint flavor, this tea reveals captivating notes of menthol and eucalyptus—wrapped delicately in a fruity peel. It's a sensory adventure: bold yet refined, invigorating yet serene.
