Yellow tea is one of the rarest and most delicate tea types, produced using a process similar to green tea but with an additional slow oxidation step known as “yellowing.” During this stage, the leaves are gently wrapped and allowed to mellow, reducing the grassy notes often found in green tea. The result is a smooth, rounded tea with a soft mouthfeel and subtle sweetness.

Yellow tea is less bitter and more refined in taste, making it highly valued among tea connoisseurs. Its limited production contributes to its exclusivity and higher market value.
