Yellow Tea

Yellow tea is produced in only a few areas of China, such as the Hunan and Sichuan provinces. As a result, very little is produced or exported, making it fairly rare. As in the case of green tea, the best grades of yellow tea are produced from tea leaves harvested early in spring. Yellow tea is characterized by its fresh and delicate flavor, and gets its name from the leaf’s slightly yellow cast, which is caused by the yellowing process it undergoes
