Huang Ya
This yellow tea comes from the Simao region in Yunnan. The production begins with the so-called “pan-cooking”, in which the tea is lightly roasted in a kind of wok so that the enzymes responsible for the fermentation process are destroyed. The still warm leaves are then carefully wrapped in rags to allow the remaining moisture to dry naturally and gently for several hours. This step is repeated until the leaves have reached the correct degree of maturity. The yellow tips develop a unique spicy sweetness in the cup, fresh and with a beautiful resonance. Like a mixture of Lung Ching (green tea) and Kekecha (yellow tea).
