Dae Pineapple Ruby Black Loose Leaf Tea

Taiwan’s most celebrated black tea — with a tropical twist that nature put there itself. Our Pineapple Ruby Black Tea is made from Taiwan Cultivar No. 18 — known as Hong Yu (紅玉), or Ruby — a tea varietal unique to Taiwan and famous the world over for its naturally fruity, tropical aroma. No artificial flavoring. No added pineapple. Just one of the most extraordinary black teas ever cultivated, grown beside the legendary Sun Moon Lake. Taiwan No. 18 is not an ancient cultivar — it’s the result of decades of careful tea research, a cross between a wild Taiwanese mountain tea varietal and a Burmese Assamica strain, developed specifically for its remarkable flavor clarity and natural sweetness. The result is a black tea unlike any other.
