From Siam Tee Shop

Huang Ya Yellow Tips yellow tea is both one of China’s oldest and rarest types of tea. By the time of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) at the latest, yellow tea gained recognition as one of the most important imperial tribute teas. Then as now, mastering the particularly sensible art of yellow tea processing is a privilege of a few masters. With mindful preparation, the visually and olfactorily appealing 1:1 mixture of white buds and yellow-green shimmering leaves in the honey-yellow cup results in a mild taste characterized by fruity-sweet and hay-like notes.

ADVENT DAY 4, tea 2/3

I have accidentally closed this note before saving, so only short recap below. Noone is interested in long notes anyway.

Gongfu, 2 grams / 125 ml gaiwan, 80°C water, longer steeps (15 s + 15 s increments)

Interesting flavour profile: corn and corn husks, followed by hay and grassy notes, with longer steeps there are buttery notes; from 4th steep astringency and bitterness, but still perfectly serviceable tea; and can’t wait for more focused session with remaining 3 grams.
