In Mandarin Chinese, this tea is called Ming Qing Mo Gan Huang Ya.

An amazing and rare yellow tea from Mo Gan mountain in Zhejiang province. It is composed of extremely small tips and leaf, which were the first crop of the year, picked at the end of March 2008.

Yellow teas are processed in a similar way to green teas: picking, withering, firing...but there is an extra method, unique to yellow tea production, in which the tea is wrapped in paper and gently warmed (40-60 degrees), which softens the flavour of the tea and removes the vegetal flavour present in green tea.
