A special variety unique to Taiwan, meet the black tea that’s in a league of its own. Ruby Black Tea are made from Taiwan Tea No. 18 (TTES #18), developed by the Taiwan Tea Research and Experiment Station. Because of the bright red colour of the tea, this tea also commonly known as 'Red Jade', which translates to Ruby in English.

Infused with natural notes of cinnamon and mint, Ruby Black Tea delivers a smooth, full-bodied experience with a subtle sweetness that lingers. It’s rich, complex, and perfectly balanced—no bitterness, just a velvety, almost caramel-like depth that makes every cup feel like a moment of indulgence.
