Description: Yellow tea is one of the six major Chinese tea types but is very scarce in the market, not to mention a jasmine 5-time scented yellow tea. Mt. Mengding produces excellent yellow teas such as Mengding Huangya (yellow bud) and others. This yellow tea is made from leaves picked in early spring using the same processing technique as Mengding Huangya, with the only difference being the picking standard: 1 bud and 1 leaf instead of all buds. When jasmine flowers were about to bloom in Leishan’s August hot summer days, the tea producer scented this yellow tea 5 times, each time with a fresh batch of unbloomed jasmine flowers waiting to bloom overnight. After each time’s scenting, the bloomed flowers need to be picked out for the next batch to be mixed in. The final step involves baking the tea dry, which balances the tea flavor and jasmine aroma and keeps the moisture content low for long-term storage.

A truly enjoyable session this afternoon with a tea from the Sept 2022 club. I had hesitated to brew because of the floral scented teas but my first tea sip has just blown me away.

Cold brew! The leaves have entirely lost their scent. The tea liquid is very pale. The aroma is faint, but there's still enough to tell it's sweet and floral. The taste is still am… more

The color is a pale gold. There's a lot of scruff! The taste is overwhelmingly jasmine for a long time. It starts picking up other flavors in the aftertaste. Unfortunately, that in… more

I think this is only my second yellow tea. It was delicious at first, very well balanced between the tea and jasmine flavor, but by my third infusion it began to taste soapy. Perhaps my water temperature or ratio was off… more

Excellent flavor on the first two infusions, but later tasted soapy to me and not exactly sure why.
