Black Ruby Tea is a rare Myanmar black tea crafted from local Assamica tea plants grown in the mountains of Mogok, northern Myanmar. This carefully crafted tea is a true gem from a region better known for its rubies than its tea.
Black tea is exceptionally rare in Myanmar, making this small-batch tea a fascinating expression of the country’s emerging tea heritage. Harvested between April and June, the leaves are fully oxidised to create a rich amber liquor, naturally sweet character and smooth, full-bodied texture.
The dry leaf carries aromas of warm maple, toasted nuts and sweet wood. Once brewed, the tea reveals layers of ripe fruit, gentle floral sweetness and soft woodland notes, with a rich yet balanced mouthfeel and a lingering honeyed finish.
For those who enjoy Chinese Dian Hong or high-grown Assam-style black teas, Black Ruby Tea offers a distinctly Myanmar expression which is elegant, naturally sweet and full of character.
