This rare yellow tea from Sichuan province has been a tribute tea for centuries. It is only made from tea buds picked during the early spring to create a nutritious tea with lightly sweet and mild flavor. This complex tea requires two days of continuous labor to complete. It is ideal for people who like green tea for its nutrition and flavor but want to avoid the stomach upset that can occur from drinking the green tea.

Sessions with this tea: 8ish?
Taste: Simple grassy-hay spectrum. Not too sweet, not too vegetal. A tiny bit floral and mildly mineral. Not much aftertaste.
Body: Mildly salivating. Medium body, thicker at first two steeps, then gets thin. Mild energy, clean feeling.
Everything about this tea is mild-moderate. I’ve been nursing mine along for a while. Is a pleasant easy drinker with a clean feeling, but not really for me as I usually like more of a challenge and more of a mouthfeel. I kinda use this as a between-sessions mouth cleanser with stronger pu or oolong teas. Drink this if you like green tea but don’t want the heavy stomach feel.
