An unusual black tea from Taiwan, Yuchi red jade black tea, also known as red jade tea. This kind of tea is made from Hongyutai tea No.18. Hongyu black tea, also known as Taiwan Tea No. 18, is a new tea variety developed by the Tea Research Institute in Taiwan, hence the name. Our red jade black tea comes from Yuchi Township near the picturesque Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County, Taiwan. Hongyutai tea variety 18 was recently developed in Taiwan in an attempt to revive black tea production in the country. This variety is bred by Asam strain of Burma (Bmur729) and local wild tea of Taiwan (Bmur607). Taiwan wild camellia can be bought in our online store, where you can also read more about Taiwan's unique camellia varieties. Wild camellia and new varieties of red jade are more interesting. They all show similar qualities, but teas made from new varieties of ruby have unique eucalyptus and mint edges. But if you put them together, you can definitely see the ancestral relationship between the two strains. Our red jade GABA black tea is also refined from the variety of red jade.

Yuchi red jade black tea has large twisted leaves, producing a deep amber-red liquid. It has a salty taste, close to a medicinal taste. This is because this tea is famous for its spicy, pepper and mint taste. This kind of tea has almost no astringency, only slightly dry in the aftertaste. It has pleasant jam and fruit flavors with hints of mint and eucalyptus. Yuchi red jade is a very complex tea, clear and full-bodied soup coupled with this unique flavor, making it a really charming tea! This kind of tea is best brewed in water at 90 °C for 3-4 minutes and should be brewed many times.
