Story of Sun Moon Lake Red Jade Black Tea

Before World War II, when Japan occupied Taiwan, the Japanese established Tea Manufacture Experiment Station as they found that Taiwan’s climate and geographic conditions were perfect for tea plantations. During this period, they imported Assam tea from India and Sri Lanka. Since then, Taiwan has improved the taste of Assam tea for over  60 years. The most successful type of black tea from the improvement of Assam tea is Red Jade Black Tea, also known as Ruby Red Tea.

Furthermore, they also identified that Sun Moon Lake is an excellent place to grow this tea. It offered an ideal growing climate and altitude; as a result, the tea has natural cinnamon and a light mint taste. The tea’s multiple flavours don’t require adding sugar or milk to improve its flavour, which is perfect for those who love premium black tea.
