Ruby Red 18 (紅烏龍) is a Taiwanese oolong made from the Qin Guan cultivar, grown exclusively in Taiwan and known for producing teas with exceptional sweetness, clarity, and depth.
It sits stylistically between an oolong and a black tea due to its higher oxidation level, resulting in a cup that is rich, rounded, and naturally dessert-like without losing aromatic lift.
Brewed, it develops a deep reddish-brown liquor and an elegant balance of malt, caramel, and soft fruit sweetness. The texture is smooth and coating, with a lingering finish that evolves across multiple infusions.
