Premium Anhui Yellow Tea - Authentic Chinese Loose Leaf Tea for Relaxation & Wellness | Perfect for Afternoon Tea, Gifts & Meditation

Product Description

Try a small size—about three servings—of our Anhui Yellow tea. to order regular retail sizes.

Yellow tea is a heralded traditional style first produced in China over a thousand years ago; due to laborious processing, however, it lost popularity to more accessible green teas and has become quite rare.

These leaves, harvested in Anhui Province in early May, are fired by expert tea maker Mr. Dai in a series of two woks at different temperatures, then gently hand-rolled. The final step is a slow drying—up to a few days—over low charcoal heat, closely monitored to avoid burning. Unlike a green tea, it oxidizes slightly during this process, producing a distinctive, roasted vegetal flavor. The pale liquor belies complex yet fresh notes of asparagus, green apple and black pepper; a soft, sweet charcoal aftertaste lingers through many infusions.
