Description

This rare beauty is a truly unique treasure, a must try for any tea enthusiast! Don't be mistaken by the dark color of the leaves; this is yellow tea! True yellow tea; which is only grown in China, is prepared in a similar way to green tea, yet the leaves are left damp to slightly oxidize the tea, turning the leaves and the finished brew a golden yellow hue. Our "Huang Cha" yellow tea is wonderfully floral- you'll notice the chrysanthemum scent right when you open the bag, and almost a faint hint of jasmine. Its flavor profile is similar to an oolong, with a smooth, rich, buttery mouth feel.

Steep a cup of this fine luxury tea and imagine sitting amongst the Emperor during the Qing Dynasty!

Out of the 25 or so teas that I drink on a regular basis, this is one of the more unusual ones. I purchased it for afternoon tea sipping and for the low caffeine levels in this tea. It was a lovely color with a popcorn sort of taste, very smooth and creamy and had a few notes of tannins. Very nice for the afternoon.

It's a very, light tasting tea. Yes, it tastes mildly like an oolong, but it kind reminds me more of pekoe white tea. I prefer the other yellow tea, huo shan huang ya yellow. That has more of a buttery, nutty taste, no flowery flavors. So, what i did was blend em' together, even though only one is organic, which is fine. From what I'm reading about teas, it's VERY hard to produce great tasting organic teas. And i would have to agree, some organic teas i have tasted over the year, are either bitter, or lack flavor. I have to buy both, b/c organic teas are SOOooo limited & there's too many good teas out there to try, that at this point, I drink both. I LOVE TEAS too much just to limit them to organic.

I always keep at least 30 different tea in my cabinet, from green tea to oolong , black tea, flower tea and fruit tea etc. But this yellow tea is very unique, like the combination of white tea and oolong, with chestnut taste and flower smell.

this is the SAME tea as that giant mall chain (oh so briefly) sold. IF you love that tea as much as I do, you've found the right product!
