— 2025 Organic Tea Selected Award - Ruby and Rose Quartz 75g each —

Want to explore the subtle layers of black tea? Wagashi Forest Tea Flavor Wheel guides you through the aromas of tea!

Taiwan Tea No. 21 "Rose Quartz Black Tea" was developed by cross-breeding Keemun tea and the Indian large-leaf varietal Kyang.

Its tea liquor is golden red and bright, with a sweet and refreshing taste and extremely prominent tea aroma, featuring a rich pomelo flower and citrus blossom scent. It is a new black tea varietal with a high aroma.

Ruby Black Tea, also known as Taiwan Tea No. 18, originates from a precious lineage: its paternal lineage is wild mountain tea, and its maternal lineage is Burmese large-leaf black tea.

It was successfully cultivated in 1951, becoming the 58th bred varietal, and people affectionately call it "4058".

This black tea is renowned for its unique aroma of mint and cinnamon. Its tea liquor is mellow yet refreshing, with a deep and long-lasting aftertaste.

It is hailed as "Taiwanese Fragrance" and is considered by tea connoisseurs to be the most representative classic flavor.
