YELLOW TEA
Yellow tea is a specialty of China. According to the size of fresh leaves, old and tender buds and leaves, it is divided into yellow bud tea, yellow small tea, yellow big tea, and Guizhou Tang Dynasty ancient yellow tea. The main yellow bud teas are Junshan Yinzhen, Mengding Huangya, Huoshan Huangya, and Yuan'an Huangcha; Weishan Maojian, Pingyang Huangtang, Ya'an Huangcha, etc. are all yellow small teas. After the Three Gorges Reservoir was filled with water, the Zigui Mountain area was shrouded in fog all year round, forming the unique Zigui yellow tea, which is also a yellow small tea.Anhui Wanxi Jinzhai, Huoshan, Hubei Yingshan and Guangdong Dayeqing are yellow big tea. The quality characteristics of yellow tea are "yellow leaves and yellow soup". Yueyang, Hunan is the hometown of yellow tea in China.Yellow tea is a lightly fermented tea, and its processing technology is similar to that of green tea, except that a "smothering yellow" process is added before or after the drying process to promote partial oxidation of polyphenols and chlorophyll. Its processing method is similar to that of green tea, and its production process is: fresh leaves withering and rolling - steaming and drying. The processes of withering, rolling, drying, etc. for making yellow tea are similar to those for making green tea. The most important process is to steam-cook the tea leaves until they turn yellow. This is the key to forming the characteristics of yellow tea. The main method is to wrap the tea leaves after withering and rolling with paper, or pile them up and cover them with a wet cloth for a few tens of minutes or a few hours, which causes the tea leaves to undergo non-enzymatic auto-oxidation under the action of water and heat to form a yellow color.
