SUN MOON LAKE aka RED JADE
ORIGIN
The history of this tea starts in 1999 when Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES) created a special cultivar, hybrid of Taiwanese wild and Burmese Assamica varietals. During the next few years red tea made from this cultivar earned a lot of attention and became the most successful red tea in Taiwan. Red Jade from Nantou county, also known as 'Sun Moon Lake', is considered to have more full-bodied and stronger flavour in comparison to other areas. This tea is famous for its complex honey-like and spicy taste with a menthol hint. Highest mastery red tea and, without a doubt, one of the most unique red teas on the planet.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a light sweet fragrance with honey, fruity and bakery notes. After warming up the tea leaves, the aroma changes and develops into raspberry, marmalade and honey notes with hints of dried apple and cinnamon. After rinsing, the tea leaves develop even more character and start to smell amazingly sweet with notes of forest berries, ice cream and bubble gum. The taste is deep and full-bodied. Unique spicy aftertaste with pepper and eucalyptus hint. The colour of the infusion is brown with red tones.
