Developed in 1984, Ruby 18 was the result of many years research made by TRES (Tea Research &amp; Extension Station).  Thanks to its parents ─ Taiwanese Original Wild Tea and Burma Assamica, Ruby 18 creates a very unique and special experience for black tea lovers.
 
With a strong cinnamon aroma and minty after taste Ruby 18 has secured it's position in the world of traditional black tea after going through the correct methods of processing. The material of this particular tea is from the very first plantation that grew Ruby 18.

The body of this tea might appear "powerful" to some, but the flavor is very delicate and subtle to the palate. One of the perfect black teas for your cherished teapot!
