{"product_id":"ruby-variation-2","title":"Ruby, Variation #2","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe name derives from the color of this tea’s liquor, and to the high oxidization level that lands this tea somewhere between an oolong and a red. Like its predecessor, Ruby Variation #2, crafted from a variation of the green heart cultivar, is named for the beautiful red hue of the tea’s liqueur. But the similarities end there. A change of garden and a twist on craftsmanship have transformed this tea from something rich and fruity, to something incredibly floral and light. A different tea altogether, yet entirely appealing in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrown on Shan Lin Xi, the leaves of this red tea are rolled, and rolled teas are nearly always a visual indication of oolong teas in Taiwan. But Ruby Variation #2 transcends this category of tea, moving past the mid oxidation of an oolong and well into the dark, fully oxidized body of a red tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe qualities of sweetness and inherent floral notes of the leaves after this extended oxidation process are further crystalized by means of a series of low temperature charcoal roasts. Over several sessions, this process begins to caramelize the sugars of the leaves, accentuating the clean, sweet flavors of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrewed, it’s a delightfully bright, high noted tea, balanced in flavors both bold and ephemeral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Song Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g pouch","offer_id":51785317384405,"sku":"r-0025-30g","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g pouch","offer_id":51785317417173,"sku":"r-0025-60g","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g pouch","offer_id":51785317482709,"sku":"r-0025-120g","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Kraft Canister | 60g","offer_id":51785317515477,"sku":"r-0025-gc-60g","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single brew | 6g","offer_id":51785317548245,"sku":"r-0025-single-5g","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/6899\/files\/r-ruby-v2-1_65c91efc-7aad-4736-bb1d-f9426b3a178d.jpg?v=1753917066","url":"https:\/\/songtea.mom\/products\/ruby-variation-2","provider":"Song Tea \u0026 Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
