Ruby GAPU Tea Cake
These beautifully sun-dried Ruby 18 cultivar leaves have been processed in a hybrid GABA and Sheng Puer processing style to create a flavor profile that we have never had in any other tea we have had on the site. This tea surprises with ripe, red stone fruit, thick and rich sheng style mouthfeel with a red oolong like finish. Then, deep in the aftertaste, the unmistakably classic hint of Ruby 18 mint appears! Pressed into a cake for aging, this tea is fascinating meld of Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese styles of tea making.
It is both strong and soft, rich and light, oolong fruitiness with young sheng bite. We are very happy to offer this uniquely processed tea for you to enjoy!
