One of the most famous Si Chuan tea in the tea history, a beautiful yellow tea from the Meng Shan - Meng Ding Huang Ya. This tea is made with only tender buds, which is always considered as a precious tea. This particular Huang Ya is harvested from the high level of the mountain that has a less even and skinny appearance. The yellowish green leaves gives a fresh and raw nutty aroma to the nose with a slight vegetal hint. After absorbing the water, the tiny leaves distend into a plump needle shape that standing straightly at the bottom of the glass. Delightful. The liquor carries a bright yellow color that is smooth and light weighted. The taste is pure that combined with fresh nutty flavor and a lemony touch on the back. 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 the yellow tea.
