What is that? That thing for iguanas? No its just a regular ol' rock

Would Ruby #18 be the same thing as Red Jade #18? And if no, where would I find ruby #18?

Yeah it's most likely the same. Chinalife has one and it's called ruby black on their site. I love it but it's more refreshing in taste than comforting so I tend do drink it more dring spring and summer.

Are you planning on putting anything in with the hibiscus?
I like a cinnamon stick, then a slice of orange once its brewed and ready to drink

See if you can find anywhere selling master Fang's bai mu dan. I had a great sample set this spring from postcard teas, but its sold out now. Maybe spring is the time to look.

How many times should I rebrew leaves before tossing them?
I usually use them three or four times.

Depends on a couple factors. Mostly any decent tea is good for more than one. More refined palates claim different experiences for subsequent infusions.

Same, I usually drink it iced.

Just keep drinking until you feel like there isn't enough flavour. Just make sure you try different steeping times for each brew and even change up temp if you want. It's all to taste and it's completely fine if you rebrew only a few or many times.

Alright, so basically what I've been doing. Cool, thanks.
