Yellow Tea
Yellow tea begins with processing close to green tea but adds men huang, a warm resting or “yellowing” stage in a humid, enclosed environment. The maker controls this step to soften sharp green freshness and form a rounder liquor with sweet, grain-like, floral, or nutty nuances. It is a production category, not simply a tea with yellow dry leaves or liquor. The collection includes Junshan Yinzhen and Mengding Huangya, two renowned bud-based styles from different Chinese regions. Both can be overwhelmed by excessively hot water or long steeping. Begin below boiling, observe the density and sweetness of the liquor, and extend infusion time gradually over subsequent brews.
