This Huo Sha Huang Ya tea is processed with 1 bud and two very tiny tender leaves, which holds a form as sparrow tongue. The tea leaves color is yellowish green with fine hairs covered around the buds. This lovely yellow tea has a clean and refreshing chestnut aroma with warm and delicate roasted vegetal touch.
The tea liquor is greenish yellow, bright and clear. In the mouth the tea is thick, mellow, and refreshing. The tea soup is thick with warm nutty taste. Flowery flavor appears after swallowing, rich and refreshing. The after taste sweet and rather long.
Tips : When you brew Chinese yellow tea in a gaiwan, always leave a little bit of tea in the gaiwan between each infusion. This is call “the root” and will allow you to get the best of delicate teas.
