Yellow tea is one of China's rarest and least understood tea categories. But do all yellow teas taste the same?
In this tasting session, Dafne and I explore four of the most celebrated Chinese yellow teas side-by-side:
Amber Mountain - Huo Shan Huang Ya (霍山黄芽)

Diamond Peak - Junshan Yinzhen (君山银针)

Wenzhou Gold - Pingyang Huang Tang (平阳黄汤)

Sovereign Bud - Meng Ding Huang Ya (蒙顶黄芽)

Together we examine their aromas, flavours, mouthfeel, energy and character while discussing the unique processing methods that define yellow tea. You'll learn how the famous "sealed yellowing" process influences taste and why each region produces such a distinctive expression of this rare tea style.
Whether you're new to yellow tea or already a devoted tea enthusiast, this comparative tasting will help you understand the subtle similarities and important differences between some of China's most revered yellow teas.
