RUBY RED 红玉

$22.00

Our Ruby Red Tea is a rare and exquisite black tea hailing from the Nantou region of Taiwan, specifically the picturesque Sun Moon Lake area. Revered for its complex and refined flavor, this tea is produced using the Ruby Red cultivar, also known as 紅玉茶 (Hóng Yù Chá), which is recognized for its deep, robust flavor profile and its unique, ruby-red liquor.

The tea leaves are carefully hand-harvested at peak freshness, ensuring each batch is as vibrant and flavorful as possible. The tea is then expertly processed to preserve its natural sweetness, depth, and malt-forward notes, with delicate hints of honey and fruitiness that make it stand out from other black teas.

Our Ruby Red offers a rich, smooth body and a satisfying finish, with a lingering sweetness that remains on the palate. It's a perfect example of the artistry of Taiwanese tea makers, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into producing such a remarkable tea. Whether enjoyed in the quiet comfort of your home or as part of an elevated tea ceremony, our Ruby Red Tea offers an unforgettable experience with every sip.

REGION:
YUCHI, TAIWAN

Yuchi, located near Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan, is a region renowned for producing exquisite black teas. The area's low-altitude terrain, nestled at elevations of 600–800 meters, is complemented by a subtropical climate featuring warm days and cool nights. These conditions are ideal for cultivating Camellia sinensis assamica, the tea variety behind Taiwan's celebrated Sun Moon Lake Black Tea.

The fertile, mineral-rich soils and ample mist from nearby waters infuse the tea leaves with a distinctive flavor profile. Yuchi’s black teas are prized for their rich, smooth texture, deep red liquor, and complex notes of honey, caramel, and warm spices. Traditional handcrafting methods, combined with the unique terroir, make teas from Yuchi a testament to Taiwan’s rich tea heritage and a favorite among connoisseurs.
