Huang Cha Yellow Tea – Rare Chinese Yellow TeaThis rare beauty is a truly unique treasure and a must-try for any tea enthusiast! Huang Cha Yellow Tea belongs to one of the rarest tea categories in the world. True yellow tea is grown and produced only in China, and it's rarely found outside of specialty tea shops. Don't be mistaken by the dark color of the leaves — this is authentic yellow tea! Yellow tea is prepared in a similar way to green tea, but with one important extra step: the leaves are kept damp and allowed to slightly oxidize before drying. This slow, careful process turns both the leaves and the finished brew a warm golden-yellow hue, and it softens the grassy edge of green tea into something rounder, smoother and more mellow. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItHuang Cha offers the best of several worlds: the freshness of green tea, the smooth, rich body of oolong and a beautiful floral fragrance all its own. It's an exciting discovery for adventurous tea drinkers and a delightful conversation piece to share with friends who think they've tried it all.
How to EnjoyYellow tea has long been treasured in China and was historically presented as a tribute to the imperial court. Steep a cup of this fine luxury tea, take a slow sip and imagine sitting among the Emperor's court during the Qing Dynasty! It's lovely on its own and can be infused several times. Rare, refined and utterly unique, Huang Cha Yellow Tea is a tea lover's treasure worth discovering. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
