紅玉紅茶（台茶18號）產於臺灣南投魚池鄉日月潭一帶，由台灣茶業改良場以緬甸大葉種與台灣野生山茶雜交育成。外形條索粗壯烏黑油潤，湯色紅豔如寶石，香氣濃郁帶天然肉桂、薄荷與玫瑰花香，入口醇厚甘潤、回甘強勁。融合紅茶的溫潤與獨特香藥氣息，曾獲比利時iTQi國際風味獎絕對三星、英國大吉嶺獎等多項世界級榮譽，被譽為「台灣紅茶國寶」。

Ruby Black Tea (TTES #18) originates from the Sun Moon Lake area in Yuchi Township, Nantou, Taiwan. Bred by the Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station through crossing Burmese large-leaf assamica with native Taiwanese wild tea. Features bold, glossy jet-black strips; brews a jewel-like ruby liquor with intense natural notes of cinnamon, mint, and rose. Rich, smooth, and powerfully sweet on the palate. A fusion of black tea warmth and unique spiced-floral character, it has earned iTQi Superior Taste Award Three Stars (Belgium), Great Taste Awards (UK), and other global honors—celebrated as the "National Treasure of Taiwanese Black Tea."
