“Sun Moon Lake Ruby Black” is a black, respectively “red” tea from the shores of Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake. The distinctive taste of Sun Moon Lake Ruby Black is characterized by pronounced, spicy-sweet cinnamon and cocoa notes. At this, hints of mint and a base of well-aged wood contribute to enhanced complexity and multi-facettedness. The full-bodied flavor of the naturally cultivated artisan tea impresses with a rare presence and intensity.

If I didn’t had so busy day, I would prepare this tea gongfu. Instead, I prepared it western and steeped twice. Luckily, this tea seems to don’t have a trouble with it and both infusions were equally tasty.
First steep was 4 minutes long and I got lots of, as I have read, typical #18 flavours. That’s robust full-bodied strong tea, with flavours that can be spicy — cinnamon mostly, woody notes (but in such a good way) and complexity. I haven’t noticed any freshness of mint; but I was completely okay with that.
The leaves expanded in my strainer so well, so I immediately thought that I have to try it for second time.
Second steep, which was 5 minute long brought very similar impressions, though a little bit weaker, that’s definitely real fact; but definitely still very flavourful. I assume it was more woody, instead of spicy, but I didn’t find it as a flaw.
Definitely, I will have to buy more of this one day, to give it chance steeping gongfu and overall… it is just so damn good tea and distinctly different from Nepalese or Georgian teas that I like, by a lot, too.
