Yellow tea :
Yellow tea is also a slightly fermented tea as white tea. Yellow
tea was evolved from green tea with its process technolgy similar
to green tea. The key technique that makes yellow tea different
from green tea is an unique process "yellowing by piling up".
During that process, the phenol content in the leaves undergoes
non£enzymatic auto£oxidation. As a result of that, the green tea
leaves turn into somewhat yellow color.
Yellow tea can be subdivided into three types: yellow buds tea,
yellow small leaf tea and yellow large leaf tea. Yellow buds tea
is made of tenderest fresh tea leaves ( single bud or one bud with
one leaf ),such as the famous Junshan Sliver Tips,Mending Yellow
Buds, and Huoshan Yellow Buds.
