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.
