Huo Shan Huang Ya was a tribute tea who’s history dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 BCE). This tea is similar to Huang Shan Mao Feng and like many yellow teas from China is often very difficult to obtain.

Add boiling water to mug and allow the water to cool to 160°-170° or simply wait 3-5 minutes.
Step 2:
Steep 1 flat Tbsp or 3-4 grams of tea per 8 oz of water.
Step 3:
Steep for 4-5 minutes. The character of yellow teas can vary dramatically depending on temperature and time so experiment throughout the range. Try 2-3 steepings.

    This tea was a real treat! Similar to green tea, but very fresh.

    Yellows are about my favorite outside of white teas. I can't pinpoint what this is supposed to taste like, but this is a mellow tea with low caffeine. I enjoyed brewing this, and I'm thinking of adding this to my evening teas. If you're new to yellow teas I think this is too expensive, however this isn't so pricey that the new crowd is priced out. If you must use this as your first yellow, you'll be pleased with the brews. I'm getting 4 brews each time. Enjoy!

  • My first yellow, recommended for those who like chinese greens

    think a light, blunted chinese green; good for one steep, recommnend 2-3 minutes to extract flavor. wasn't able to get much flavor on subsequent steepings.
