NEW LARGER SIZE - 75g instead of 56g Along with our Formosa Assam, this high quality black tea is grown, hand-picked and roasted on the farm of Mrs. Lee and her husband beside scenic Sun-Moon Lake in the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. I lucked into finding them when I first started BTTC in 2011. I've been back many times since and I'm convinced they make some of the best Red Jade out there. Red Jade is in a class of its own and must be approached on what it brings to the table. Think of it as a fine dark Taiwanese Oolong. It's lighter in body and not as malty as Formosa Assam but sweeter, more delicate and with a cleaner finish. Farmer Lee's Red Jade is a real pleasure and I'm sure you'll come back to it again and again. However, if you are looking for a bold breakfast black, we recommend Formosa Assam. $5 fast USA shipping for all the tea and tea ware you want! International shipping details are HERE.
