Description
Huo Mountain Yellow Tea is a beautiful, long leaf tea with exceptional taste. The flavor is buttery-smooth and somewhat savory, with a vegetal hint and a clean finish. This tea truly stands on its own. While yellow tea is similar to green tea, it has a smoother, mellower flavor. Yellow tea is slightly oxidized, giving it a creamy taste.
We’ve known about yellow tea for awhile, but hesitated to bring it into our tea offerings. The leaves get processed similarly to a green tea, with an extra step in the process, altering the leaf color and flavor profile. After tasting Huo Mountain Yellow Tea, we knew we had to bring it on. While yellow tea is relatively new to the tea world, and certainly to the American tea market, we thought you’d appreciate this exquisite tasting 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.
Hi Daniel,
Glad you discovered this tea! We also think this is one of the best teas we’ve ever carried. Thank you for taking the time to post your “tea notes” on this tea, LMTC
