**Leading the Trend: Hong Yu No. 18**
__Forty years after its emergence, No. 18 was officially recognized as "Hong Yu" and sparked the Sun Moon Lake black tea craze.__
Hong Yu No. 18 is a hybrid, with a Taiwanese mountain tea father and a Burmese mother. Though born in the 1950s, it took a long time to gain recognition. It wasn't until 1999 that Hong Yu black tea, with its distinct mint and cinnamon aroma, was officially released and became an instant hit.
Hong Yu No. 18, with its unique fragrance, elicits strong reactions, especially from first-time drinkers – they either love it or can't get used to it.
Therefore, for this selection of Hong Yu No. 18, we prioritized a mellow and smooth taste. We found an organically transitioning tea garden in Luogu and a five-star tea processing facility to create a Hong Yu black tea that balances aroma and flavor, offering a comfortable drinking experience with a long-lasting finish. Recommended for beginners trying No. 18, or for those who dislike an intense mint aroma.

**Cha Shuo Travel Selects Tea**
__Selected black tea from Luogu, Sun Moon Lake.__
Starting with Sun Moon Lake black tea, Cha Shuo Travel continues to explore Luogu's black tea culture through tea selection, storytelling, and experiences, aiming to introduce it to more people in an accessible way.
Each tea has a different production background, and each brewing is a journey of exploration and reading – perhaps it's about a tea varietal, a processing technique, a young tea farmer, a local community, or a story that once unfolded on this land.
