YELLOW TEA (HUANG CHA)

Yellow tea (黄茶 – huáng chá) was discovered as a result of an “accident” made in the green tea process. This accidental step eventually became an official step called yellowing and a new type of tea was born. Famous for its evident fragrance and complicated, layered taste while still remaining brisk and fresh, it is also, a troubled tea category due to its risky and difficult process – fewer and fewer producers are able to produce yellow tea and those that can are reluctant to take the risk. The yellowing process creates a unique flavor that is well worth exploring.
