This black tea is from Taiwan's Alishan tea district, grown at an altitude of 1300 meters.
This tea is from the Taiwan Tea #18 varietal, also known as Red Jade. It is a small-leaf tea plant ideally suited to the production of black tea.
Black tea is fully fermented, in contrast to our other teas, which are lightly fermented. The tea leaves are whole, and retain their original oblong shape.
This is an exceptionally smooth black tea with a naturally sweet honey flavor. This black tea has a hint of cinnamon without any astringency.
