This will guarantee to be one of your favorite teas. Incredibly aromatic, this may be the best red jade you’ve ever had!
Also known as a Ruby #18 cultivar. All the great scents are here: prominent sweet mint aroma/cooling effect in the nostrils, very mild licorice, upfront fruity tomato, upfront candy sweetness, mild malty character.
Initial Steeps:
Insane aromatics and super delicious brew. The tea is minty, fruity, and oh so sweet. The dynamic and intense aromatics of oolongs with the satisfying structure of a black tea.
Later Steeps:
This red jade started off strong and just keeps going. This tea is just so clean and beautiful in its own very unique way. The aroma also shows no signs of fading whatsoever
