Organic Chinese yellow tea
About this tea

Huo Mountain Yellow Tea represents the best of this little-known Chinese tea tradition. Warmer, rounder, and smoother than any green tea. The flavor dances between savory and sweet. A custardy texture resembles a tippy black tea, but without the heaviness. And among all these overlapping flavors, the astringency is hidden: no louder than a peep. From the umami richness to the lingering sweet finish, we're willing to bet you've never tasted a tea like this before.

Like green tea, yellow tea is lightly oxidized. Then it undergoes another step in processing to tone down the green tea grassiness. Huo Mountain contains only young, whole leaves and buds, the most prized part of the tea plant. Prepare yourself for this exquisite tea.

We hesitated to import a yellow tea, when so few people in the US know the category. But after tasting Huo Mountain Yellow Tea, we knew we had to bring it on. Have a taste.

Huo Mountain Yellow Tea is one of my favorites, in addition to Heritage Green. Sitting down with a hot cup of Huo Mountain tea on a wintry day is so comforting and delicious. The flavor is subtle yet satisfying — slightly grassy, mellow, and smooth. During warmer weather, it is refreshing.

Huo Mountain Yellow Tea

Bought this awhile ago just to try yellow tea out... This tea is delightful! It's definitely one of the best teas I've ever had

Huo Mountain Yellow Tea

This (tied, of course, with sticky rice puerh) is the best tea of any kind I have had ever. My new daily morning tea—though it feels almost wasteful to make this tea just a habit.

Huo Mountain Yellow Tea

This is one of the smoothest, most non-astringent, easy drinking teas I've ever had the opportunity to drink. First infusion notes: nutty, akin to roasted meat almost, chocolatey, sweet aftertaste. I haven't done any other infusions yet but I'm sure it will hold up to a few more at least. Very refreshing brew, not heavy at all. This is THE tea.
