Yellow Tea by East Pacific Tea Co.
Yellow tea is one of the rarest types of tea to touch this earth. Being a midpoint between white and green, this tea provides the best of both worlds, high in antioxidants and rich in flavor.
Yellow tea is my favorite, so I am always excited to try one I haven’t yet tasted. Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sharing this Yellow with me.
It has a delicate, sweet flavor with a hint of roasted nut in the background. It has a very supple quality to it – smooth and silky. A vegetative note in mid-sip, very slight but there, tasting slightly of steamed bitter greens with a touch of butter on it.
A very pleasant cup … and I’m off to write a review about it!
Thank you to LiberTEAS for today’s random sample!
The scent of the steeped cup is lightly “green” and perhaps there’s a hint of a vegetal aroma, but it’s very subtle.
Even though it was steeped for four minutes, the taste is very light and subtle, like a weak green tea. Good, but nothing remarkable. It’s my first yellow tea though, so perhaps I’ll find that they are generally too weak for me. Either way, I’ll try brewing this one with a bit more leaf/less water next time to bring out the flavour a bit more. Might try that with the re-steep as well (decreasing the water, that is).
I can’t believe I am the first to log this one! :)
This is a really nice yellow.
It has hints of floral-peppery notes but the cross between the natural green and white tea tastes are very good. In addition, I think the sweet after taste is my favorite of this tea.
