Also known as Taiwan No.18, this Red Jade is a hybrid of Assam tea from India with a wild tea found in Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan. Originally devised by the government to promote a Taiwanese black tea, its popularity with tea connoisseurs began almost 50 years ago.
This fully oxidised tea yields the full body and character of an Assam, coupled with exuberant fruit notes of wild plum and cinnamon, ending with a fresh menthol finish.
Of all the Red Jades we have tasted in Taiwan, this tea made by Mr Yu is by far the best to tantalise and satisfy.
