Yellow Tea

Among the rarest teas in China, yellow teas are processed much like green teas but with an additional stage of wrapping the leaves in paper after pan-frying. The leaves are allowed to dry naturally in the wrapping. The cycle of pan-frying and wrapping is repeated until the tea is determined to have reached the desired appearance and aroma. Yellow tea leaves are generally more yellow-green in appearance than green teas. The flavor profile tends to be more fruity than vegetal.
