This is a very delicate, light, velvety tea, slightly sweet.
This rare tea belongs to the yellow tea family, a cousin of green and white teas. Yellow tea is not a new fad, it goes back 4000 years in China! Yellow tea often used to be reserved for Chinese emperors’ very own consumption. In fact it is believed that the name ‘yellow’ may have come not just from the colour of the tea but also the colour worn by emperors…This tea is made of only young buds, flattened and stretched to give it its distinctive yellow shine. Yellow tea is believed to be very rich in antioxidants.
Preparation instructions are available on the pack.
For those who like the details: this yellow tea is a Wei Shan Mao Jian from the province of Hunan in China.
