Details : Huo Shan Huang Ya is a rare Yellow tea. This tea was used an Imperial tribute tea back in the Ming and Qing Dynasty. The processing method of this tea was said to be lost and only to be re-discovered after the 70s. Since then, Huo Shan Huang Ya has been sent as tribute to many great leaders of China every year. This tea won the Commercial Products of Good Quality in 1990 and China's Tea Cup in 1999, just to name a few.

Yellow teas are a rare category of semi-fermented teas only produced in China. Most Yellow teas are made in Hunan, Anhui and Zhejiang; smaller amounts are produced in Sichuan and Jiangxi.
Traditional yellow tea areas produce yellow teas using small leaf green tea bushes. Whereas green teas are quickly dried after firing, yellow teas are piled and partially fermented after firing and prior to the final drying process, in order to remove grassy and sharp notes common in green tea. The unique yellow tea pile fermentation process converts tea polyophenols into complex TEA POLYPHENOLS known as “theaflavins,” which yield a yellow pigment in the leaf, creating a golden infusion.

Taste: The aroma and taste of this tea is a reminiscence of sweet corn. Very unique and refreshing.

Appearance: Mixtures of downy single bud and one-bud-two-leaves varieties. When infused the liquor is yellowish green in color.

Prepare your teas: 1-2 tsp per cup in 80°C water for 3 minutes
