Kekecha Yellow

Yellow Tea by Fava Tea Co.

Organic, World Tea Champion. Yellow tea is traditionally only-half partially-fermented, and is comparable to Oolong tea. During production, the experienced tea master must rely on instinct in order to stop the oxidation process at exactly the right moment. Due to its stimulating effect and its many pleasant qualities, consumption of this tea remained a privilege of the Buddhist monks for a long time.

Our quality has an open, multicolored leaf with bronze, golden-brown and green shades similar to White Peony. The cup color offers a unique kaleidoscope of colors in apricot. The taste is mild with a hint of papaya and underlying spiciness.

Recommendations: 1 heaping tea spoons per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh water until it is steaming briskly (not boiling); let steep for 2 min. Able to steep multiple time.

Health Benefits: Studies show that white/yellow tea is loaded with antioxidants; it can protect against cancer, heart disease and stroke, as well as numerous other conditions. White tea is also said to strengthen the circulatory and healthy, young looking skin.

2.25g/6oz purified water. The raw leaves are so pretty! Some are twisted and others are so scrunched they almost look like they’re rolled. The liquor is a lot darker than I expected. Other than that I can’t tell you much cuz I’m still sick. Although I gave it a pretty high score because I could actually taste it a bit inspite of my cold.

Drinking this, still trying to figure out exactly why they call it yellow.

I have 1020 teas on my shopping list… I think I have a problem… LOL.=D Picking up where I left off last nite. 3rd infusion, 5min. Orangey-pinky liquor and very sweet taste

Made this because dinner (Dill Chicken) is soon (I’ll probably have it w/ my next cuppa) so I wanted to make what I’ll have w/ it. Wasn’t sure what to pair Dill Chicken w/…

2.25g/6oz purifed water. 2 infusions 2 & 3 min respectively.

Tried to get a yellow liquor out of this so bumped the water temp just a bit and backed off on the steeping time by a min. Didn’t work. Just a slightly lighter cup.
