Yellow Tea

This relatively rare, handcrafted offering is produced in An Hui province, Huo Shan County, and was once a tribute tea offered to the Emperor. The leaves are composed of a fine plucking, with a downy bud and two leaves. The liquor is a muted hay color with a buttery aspect. The flavor is subtle yet rich and enticing, with an evanescent tropical fruit note.

This unique Arunachal Pradesh yellow tea selection showcases beautiful golden tips, which yield a sparkling amber-gold liquor fragrant with notes of malt. The light-bodied cup is buttery smooth with a full mouth feel and rich flavor that hints of stone fruit. A pronounced honey sweetness lingers long into the finish. A staff favorite.
