    Appearance:

    The dry leaves of Ruby White Tea are long, slightly twisted, and showcase a mix of silvery-white buds and darker leaves. Once brewed, the leaves unfurl into beautiful, elongated shapes, revealing their delicate nature.

    Aroma: 

    The aroma is captivating and complex, offering a bouquet of floral and fruity notes. You’ll notice hints of honey, orchids, and a subtle undertone of mint, which is characteristic of the TTES No. 18 cultivar.

The flavor profile is layered, with initial notes of ripe stone fruits like apricot, followed by a delicate floral undertone. As the tea cools slightly, a subtle hint of mint and a touch of earthiness emerge, balancing the fruity and floral characteristics. The tea has a natural sweetness with a silky mouthfeel, making it a delightful and complex brew.

    Behind This Tea

    TTES No. 18, also known as “Ruby Red” or “Hong Yu” / “ Red Jade” was specifically bred by the Taiwan Tea and Beverage Research Center. It is a cross between an Assamica strain and a wild Taiwanese tea variety. The result is a tea that is deeply aromatic, with a distinctive flavour that stands out among other cultivars.

    This cultivar, originally developed in Taiwan for black tea production, is famous for its robust and complex flavor profile. When processed as a white tea, it retains the depth and richness associated with black tea while offering the delicate and subtle qualities of white tea.
