Yellow tea is a special kind of tea that is known only in China and is its national treasure. Due to the special cultivars, the quality of the tea leaves, and the low level of oxidation, this type of tea is rich in vitamins and microelements and has exquisite organoleptic properties.
According to the degree of oxidation, yellow tea is similar to white tea. As a result of wrap-yellowing, the tea leaves lose their herbaceousness and astringency which is inherent in green tea, while also retaining all the beneficial properties. It is believed that yellow tea reduces the risk of heart disease, cleans the circulatory system, strengthens blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, has antiviral and antibacterial properties, and relieves spasms, headaches, and nervous tension.

HUOSHAN WILD TREE BIG YELLOW from SHI GU TEA GARDEN
ORIGIN
This yellow tea has a long 400+ years history back to the Ming Dynasty during yellow tea production development. Huang Da Cha was created as a cheaper version of a luxury yellow tea using one bud and two/three leaves. This yellow tea is made from tea leaves harvested from 60-100-year-old tea trees in Shi Gu Tea Garden, located in Guihua Village, at an altitude of around 1050 meters above sea level. This place is famous for its 1200-year-old Osmanthus tree, which is the oldest in the whole of China. Thanks to a high mountain, high humidity, and rich soil, this place has a perfect environment for growing high-quality tea.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a sweet, baked, honey fragrance with malt nuances. After warming up aroma develops into floral, sea, and smoked notes. After rinsing aroma changes into baked seeds and seaweed. The taste is sweet and deep with herbal, mineral, umami taste with oily texture and smoky nuances. Perfectly balanced and complex taste with sweet long-lasting aftertaste. The empty cup has sweet, creamy, floral notes. The infusion is clear with a golden-yellow colour.
