Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Hong Yu Black Tea
A sweet, honeyed, smooth black tea with deep amber liquor from Taiwan’s unique Hong Yu (Red Jade) cultivar grown around Sun Moon Lake.
The Hong Yu (Red Jade) cultivar was developed in Taiwan in the 1980s by crossing the local Qingxin Da Gong cultivar with a Myanmar large-leaf variety.

That is 42 mg in a 6–8 oz cup (180–240 ml) serving — a concentration of 20 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
