Spring Huoshan Huangya

This exquisite yellow tea offers a delicate balance of sweet apple candy and the freshness of a spring meadow. Its smooth, medium body carries hints of nougat and green beans, finishing with a pleasan. It leans floral, sweet and vegetal.

Water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–4 g per 100 ml, 20–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Think of it like a more mellow green tea. Keep the water cool to preserve the sweetness.

Grown in Anhui, China from the Jinji 1 cultivar. This batch is from the Spring harvest.

Starts at $1.90 from Mei Leaf, or about $0.32/g. A 4g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.91 per session. Explore more yellow teas on Teadar.
