The rarest & most prestigious of the 6 categories of teas, Yellow Tea is produced by gently steaming the leaves and covering with a damp cloth, called sweltering. This slightly oxidizes the leaves and gives the tea its characteristic yellow color. Yellow is a great alternative for those who want the antioxidant health benefits of green tea, but don't like the slightly grassy textures of it. Yellow dragon is a lighter version of our popular "Yangtze Yellow".
