Character and use
Ruby #18, also known as Red Jade, is one of the distinctive Taiwanese black teas. It is known for its spiced character, fuller body and characteristic aromatic expression, which sets it apart from more common black teas.
The infusion is typically intense, yet still harmonious, with pleasant structure and a long finish. Thanks to its distinctive profile, it fits well into the offer of businesses that want to include a stronger tea alongside lighter oolongs for guests looking for a fuller and deeper profile.
It works well as a standalone, more premium item on the menu and appeals to guests who enjoy stronger black teas with character.
