Taiwan Red - Black Tea

Taiwanese Red Tea (also known as Black Tea in the West) is crafted through deep oxidation (70-90%), bringing out its signature rich, smooth, and naturally sweet flavors. Unlike traditional Indian, Ceylon, or Chinese black teas, Taiwan’s red teas stand out for their vibrant character and unique terroir, making them highly sought after by tea connoisseurs.

This tradition began during Japanese rule (1895-1945), when Assamica tea plants were introduced to Taiwan, and refined techniques led to the creation of highly aromatic, full-bodied teas. Over time, Taiwanese farmers have perfected their craft, developing distinctive red tea varieties that balance deep maltiness with floral, honey-like sweetness.

Grown in high-altitude regions under ideal climate conditions, these teas offer a luxurious drinking experience, whether enjoyed fresh or aged for greater complexity. With global demand rising, Taiwanese red teas continue to reclaim their place among the world’s finest handcrafted teas. 🍂✨
