A different type of a Misty Peak (Meng Ding) these leaves offer an array of yellow buds. It is Huang Ya in the form of a long straight leaf rather than curls. Its dry aroma is fruity, while the liquor is light yellow, with toasty, nutty, warming notes.

TTB Review #6: I’ve never had a yellow tea before so this was a very new experience for me. To be honest, I don’t really like it, though I did finish my cup. I dunno, something about it was like…pungent vegetable water. I normally don’t mind a vegetal presence in tea but this one just didn’t hit the right notes for me.
Yellow tea is one of the rare types of tea. If you find this tea cheap. Be wary. This tea is the only one to use sweltering during processing. And this is what makes yellow tea what it is (just like all the other types). This amazing tea is not to be taken lightly. With each note you will find, I am definitely finding, high vegetal and nutty notes. The dry leaves will be a mix of green olive and jade colors. Maybe not the most beautiful as compared with well-done Japanese green teas but they have their own. Rolled into a needle shape. The mouthfeel is smooth with very little astringency, even when you over-steep it a bit. There are some passion fruit notes similar to longjing #43 (this is a slightly different cultivar from longjing/dragonwell). With the second steep I am finding that the liquor blankets my mouth with an even silkier feeling. The first steep reveals the highest and more abundant notes whereas the second steeping is tapered and the vegetal notes are stronger. Asparagus and grass.
