Huoshan Yellow Buds is a traditional yellow tea made of first spring leaves and tea buds. But what exactly is yellow tea? How is it made?

As a result of the yellowing process, flavors that usually stay in the background of green tea come to the forefront. Yellow tea is therefore floral, nutty, gently straw-like, it\u2019s creamy, delicate, and refined.<\/p>\n
The yellowing is interspersed with multiple roastings at different temperatures, that further enrich the brew’s flavor. It gives tea pleasant notes of walnut and sweet yellow fruits, along with roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n
This tea is truly exceptional\u2014very elegant, smooth, and calm. It has a rich aroma and a light, unobtrusive taste. Yellow tea is the rarest of all types, as its processing is complex and does not scale well for large factories. Consequently, it remains a niche variety meant for special occasions.<\/p>\n
