**Red Jade No. 18: A Trendsetter**
__It took forty years after its emergence for No. 18 to be officially recognized as "Red Jade" and spark the Sun Moon Lake black tea craze.__
Red Jade No. 18 is a hybrid, with Taiwanese mountain tea as its father and a varietal from Burma as its mother. Although it was born in the 1950s, it didn't have the chance to be introduced until 1999. After its official release, Red Jade black tea, with its distinct mint and cinnamon aroma, became an instant hit.
The unique aroma of Red Jade No. 18 elicits strong reactions, especially from first-time drinkers – they either love it or find it an acquired taste.
Therefore, this selection of Red Jade No. 18 prioritizes a mellow and smooth profile. We partnered with an organically transitioning tea garden in Lugu and a five-star tea processing facility to create a Red Jade black tea that balances aroma and flavor, offering a comfortable drinking experience with a lingering finish. It's recommended for newcomers to No. 18 or those who prefer a less intense minty aroma.

**Four Black Teas for Beginners**
__Tea Story's Tea Selection__
Driven by the initial aspiration to "make Lugu black tea visible," Tea Story has collaborated with local small-scale farmers. Through diverse formats such as tea ceremonies, hands-on activities and workshops, videos, and podcasts, we guide people to discover the flavors of local black tea and its century-long development, showcasing the stories each farmer wishes to share through Tea Story.
This year, we further introduce "Four Black Teas for Beginners," selecting Lugu series black teas most suitable for novice drinkers in 2024. From the oldest heritage mountain tea, the familiar Assam, the distinctively characterful Red Jade, to the Western-favorite Hong Yun, all come with clear brewing instructions. This allows beginners to easily enjoy fine tea at home.
