Ruby Black Tea

Ingredients: Black tea

Ruby Black tea is unsweetened, yet incredibly sweet. There are no natural or artificial sweetener added to the tea leaves. The natural sweet flavor and aroma of Ruby Black tea comes from a unique process in which hopper insects, Jacobiasca formosana, bite the tea leaves. The chemicals glucoside and primrose glycoside released during the healing process will create a natural honey and ripe fruit flavor. The color of this tea is a bright, clear golden red.
