What Is Yellow Tea?
The yellow tea type is a rare category that is often likened to a mellow version of green tea. It is made in the same way as green tea, except that after the firing, the leaves are kept warm for a long time. This gentle 'keep-warm' or ‘yellowing’ stage often involves wrapping the leaves in thick paper and subjecting them to a charcoal bake. This process removes some of the vegetal flavours and helps the leaves to develop their prized mellower, slightly riper flavours.
