Huo Shan Huang Ya Yellow

Huo Shan Huang Ya Yellow – Rare Anhui Yellow Bud Tea

Huo Shan Huang Ya is a rare yellow tea produced in the Huoshan area of Anhui Province, China. Yellow tea is still relatively unknown to most tea drinkers in the West, as it's a rare and special category closely related to green tea. Huo Shan Huang Ya was created and quickly became famous during the Tang Dynasty, and was once offered as a tribute tea to the imperial court.

It's made from slender, tender buds processed with traditional pan-firing, followed by the special "yellowing" step that gives yellow tea its signature mellowness. The dry tea smells fresh and refreshing, floral and bright, with a subtle chestnut fragrance.
