TTES No. 21, also known as Hong Yun, is a relatively new variety of black tea developed by the Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES). This cultivar is the result of crossbreeding between the wild Assamica variety and Keemun (Qimen) tea.
The tea is distinguished by its natural sweetness with citrus notes, complemented by hints of blueberry and blackberry jam. Hong Yun black tea is a luxurious Taiwanese creation that can proudly be compared to any other high-altitude black tea from Taiwan.
