Dear tea lovers, our second batch of Taiwan Tea No. 18 Ruby Black Tea of the year has arrived! Harvested in mid-October, this autumn tea completely blew us away at first sip, so we made a last-minute decision to buy up extra stock.
To be honest, this tea wasn’t in our procurement plan at all. Back in August, we listed a batch of Ruby that was exceptional, so we bought heavily—expecting it to last us a full year. When we visited the mountain tea gardens recently, we were actually looking for another cultivar. Seeing this Ruby tea, we brewed it just to give it a casual try, but we couldn’t stop drinking it. Leaving a tea this good behind would just be doing a favor for our competitors, so we bought it on the spot.
Why does it taste so good? According to the tea master, the tea bushes were aging severely, so after the summer harvest, they performed a pruning to let fresh shoots sprout. The results were astounding! The newly sprouted tea leaves were gorgeous. With fewer branches to share nutrients, the resulting Ruby has an exceptionally prominent aroma, featuring its signature minty notes even more clearly than the summer harvest.
This batch also comes with a pleasant surprise: it was lightly bitten by tea green leafhoppers. While subtle, it adds a delicate hint of honey fragrance to the tea liquor, making it a wonderful bonus.
