Huang Guan Yueyang Yellow Tea 75 g

From Yueyang, Hunan Province—the core production region of Chinese yellow tea—this Huangya (yellow bud) tea is a rare, high-grade yellow tea of this year’s selection. Yueyang is not only a well-known “hometown of yellow tea” in China, but also the origin of the famous tea Junshan Yinzhen. It has a long and deeply rooted tradition of yellow tea craftsmanship.

This Huangya yellow tea is made from tender spring buds and leaves, picked according to the same standards as green tea. However, it undergoes the unique yellow tea “sealing yellow” (menhuang) process, which preserves the fresh, vibrant character of spring tea while adding a gentler, fuller-bodied, and naturally sweet flavor.

Suitable drinkers

For those who enjoy the fresh, brisk character of green tea but are concerned about bitterness or a cooling nature, yellow tea is an ideal choice. After the sealing yellow process, the tea becomes more gentle and approachable, with excellent drinkability and is especially popular among many female tea drinkers.
