Yellow tea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yellow tea usually implies a special tea processed similarly to green tea, but with a slower drying phase. It can, however, also describe high-quality teas served at the Imperial court, but this is not discussed in the article. The tea generally has a very yellow-green appearance and a smell different to both White tea and Green tea, but similarities in taste and smell can still be drawn between Yellow, Green and White teas.
