This tea is grown in the famous Sun Moon Lake area. The “Ruby 18” variety of tea tree, officially known as Tai Tea #18, was developed in Taiwan during the 1980s. It is a hybrid of the Wild Formosa tea tree and the Burmese Assamica tea tree. The cross resulted in a very special variety of tea, which when processed as HongYu Black Tea, is unique.

Norbu TeaMine is from 2019. Interesting flavour. It has a malty, dried-fruit sweetness reminiscent of figs or even prunes. There’s some taste of cocoa, but it’s not prominent. Despite its sweetness, the texture is drying and almost acidic in feel. It’s not a tea I would get again, but it is definitely unique.
