Description

High in the Mogok region of northern Myanmar, at 1100 meters above sea level, old tea bushes thrive in the wild. Black Ruby is crafted from the young leaves of semi-wild plants, handpicked during three carefully timed harvests throughout the year.

The infusion shines a clear amber and releases a rich aroma with notes of citrus, wood, and rose. Its taste is smooth and layered, combining fruity sweetness with a bright touch of citrus and gentle woody hints.

Black Ruby is a rare black tea in Myanmar, where most production focuses on green tea. Produced from native, locally grown varieties, it reflects the careful work of Mogok Tea and has earned a Golden Award from the UK Tea Academy for its exceptional quality.

The story behind the tea: Mogok Tea

At the Five Trees Estate in Mogok, 200 kilometres north of Mandalay in Myanmar, Phyu Thwe started a micro tea factory as a sustainable alternative to the mining that has dominated the region for generations.

All tea is hand-picked across 180 hectares of tea gardens and processed on a small scale. In 2024, Mogok Tea won three awards at the Leafies Awards of the UK Tea Academy.
