This new Black Tea was found by The Tea Research and Extension Station where located in the hills surrounding Sun Moon Lake has also focused on the development and production of other black teas.

The red jade is a cross between an assam strain from Burma and a local wild tea strain. For the very unique and best tea was made that another good reason is that the place of the origin Yuchih Township is one of the most suitable places for black tea trees to grow.   Yuchih town has a long Assam black tea history. It grows mainly Assam back tea strain which was introduced by Sinjing Genjilang (the father of black tea) from Assam, India. At that time, the Japan administration studied the geography, soil, environment, and weather to find where is the proper place to produce tea. Finally, Yuchih town was chosen to grow the black tea because that it is at an altitude of ******0 meters (around ********0 feet) and has the stable humidity and diverse landform. Besides, the black tea has been refined by Tea Research and Extension Station. Yuchih town has become the home of Taiwan black tea ever since.
