Also known as Mount Huo Yellow Bud, translated from Chinese Huo Shan Huang Ya (霍山黄芽), a fine yellow tea from the high mountains of Huo Shan County( 霍山县), Anhui Province(安徽省) of China.
These succulent, sweet, and nutty silvery tips give a clear, golden, aromatic nectar and a beautiful, lingering flavour. It’s light and mellow, perfectly balanced to keep you quenched and refreshed throughout the day. This yellow tea exhibits smooth, vegetal notes without astringency, thanks to the master’s laborious process of Sealing Yellow (Men Huang, 闷黄), which leaves the infusion with a mellow nature, free from dry and grassy notes. While it still has certain vegetal flavours similar to a fine green tea, this Huoshan Huangya yellow has a profile of umami, sweetness, and a slightly savoury sensation at the same time, with a hint of roasted, nutty scent—one of its kind, a well-balanced tea for any time of day.
