[Sun Moon Lake Four Great Black Teas] Organic Ruby | Tea Story Travel / Taiwan Tea / Small-batch Gift Selection

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353770861_c2b45e1cce_c.jpg **The Trend-Setting Ruby #18** __It took forty years after its inception for the #18 varietal to be officially recognized as "Ruby" and spark the Sun Moon Lake black tea trend.__ Ruby #18 is a crossbreed; its father is Taiwan wild tea, and its mother hails from Burma. Although it was created in the 1950s, it long remained in obscurity. It wasn't until 1999 that this Ruby black tea, characterized by its notes of mint and cinnamon, was officially unveiled and became an instant sensation. The distinct aroma of Ruby #18 often elicits polarized reactions due to its cool, refreshing sensation—especially for first-timers who either love it instantly or find it unconventional. For this selection of Ruby #18, we prioritized a mellow and smooth profile. We sourced from an organic-transitional tea plantation in Lugao and a five-star tea processing facility to craft a Ruby black tea with a perfect balance of aroma and flavor—a comforting cup with a long-lasting finish. We recommend this for those new to #18 or those who prefer a more subtle mint profile. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353972239_471a5c9ac4_c.jpg **Tea Story Travel Tea Selection** __A premium black tea from Lugao, Yuchi.__ Tea Story Travel begins with Sun Moon Lake black tea. Through careful selection, storytelling, and immersive experiences, we document the black tea culture of Lugao, hoping to help more people discover it with ease. Each tea variety carries a unique production background. Every brew is like a journey or a piece of literature—perhaps a story about a specific tea cultivar, a traditional technique, a young tea farmer, a local settlement, or an untold tale from this land. —————————————————————————— ■ Product Name: [Sun Moon Lake Four Great Black Teas] Organic Ruby | 2026 Gift Recommendation Producer: Tea Story Travel Weight: 20g / 40g / 75g Ingredients: Organic Ruby (Taiwan Tea #18) whole leaf tea Origin: Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan Shelf Life: 2 years unopened
