Wild Grown Huo Shan Huang Ya Yellow Tea

Huo Shan Yellow Tea is one of the only several Chinese yellow teas from the core producing area in Huoshan county, Anhui province. It was a tribute tea in Ming dynasty and one of the Chinese famous teas. Yellow tea resembles green tea yet slightly oxidized during the process to create a sweeter and softer taste than green tea. 

This tea was a great find on Victoria's sourcing trip in April 2016. It was wildly grown on the forest hill of the mountain at a high elevation of about 1000 meters, often covered with mist and clouds, among the bamboo forest. The buds and leaves have pale green color with various hues. The liquor is vibrant and bright pale green and yellowish color. It has intense nutty aroma, smooth and buttery, very refreshing, with lasting sweet finish. This tea is infusion-enduring, no bitterness or astringency whatsoever, even after a long steeping.
