Yellow Tea

Yellow tea is a tea you nowadays find in just a few places in China, due the difficult processing technique. Only three species of this tea are well known: the Meng Ding from Sichuan, Junshan Silver Needle from Hunan and the Huoshan Yellow Buds from Anhui. Both the leaves and the teawater have a yellow / green colour. Hence this tea is called yellow tea. The taste of tea is fresh, but also has a slight hint of pepper. The yellow tea is a light tea, soft and fragile. Along with white tea, it is the least processed tea, and thus contains more antioxidants than other teas.
