Beigang Yellow Tea
50g loose leaf tea (7-10 sessions)
What is Yellow Tea?
Yellow tea is probably the least common of the six major Chinese tea types, which include red, green, white, oolong, dark, and yellow.
Yellow tea is similar to green tea, but with an extra โMen Huangโ or โSmotheringโ step in the teamaking process.
After being picked, dried, and heated with a wok to โkill green,โ the tea leaves are then โsuffocatedโ in a low-oxygen, high-heat environment. This encourages distinct types of oxidization and fermentation that creates a sort of tangy, sweet flavor distinct to yellow tea.
This yellowing process also increases the natural development of L-Theanine and volatile organic compounds within the tea, leading to strong Cha Qi and fantastic scent.
It is this specialized step that makes yellow tea so uncommon - with only a few master โSuffocatorsโ left and even fewer areas known for yellow tea, finding a consistent supply while maintaining quality and value is a challenge for tea shops everywhere.
Jesse on Beigang Yellow Tea:
Weโve finally got a yellow tea on the shop!
For years, Iโve been looking to find a good yellow tea at the right mix of price and quality that would satisfy the many, many tea friends online asking for a yellow tea fix.
This Beigang Yellow Tea is that tea!
The flavor of Beigang Yellow is similar to green tea, but with a special tangy โdifferenceโ that makes it stand out. Similar to how lighter oolong teas can be like green tea โbut moreโ, this yellow tea also tastes like a green tea with a twist - though a different twist than oolong.
The flavor is sweet and smooth, with a bit of fermented funk and a fruity aftertaste. It combines the nice parts of a fragrant green tea with an extra twist of something extra that will be fun for experienced tea drinkers as well as people trying their first yellow tea.
For several years, I had many yellow tea samples, but I never committed to getting one for the site because they tended to be too expensive for how good they were. This yellow tea has โentry-levelโ pricing for a yellow tea, but the scent and flavor are, in my opinion, much better than entry-level quality.
Beigang, where the tea is from, is located in Hunan Province, and its yellow tea has been well known since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Grown at over 2000 meters of elevation, this teaโs famous fragrance has maintained its name in the Chinese tea world for over a thousand years.
Itโs the sort of thing I am glad to feature on the site and in the subscription tea club! Enjoy!
NOT JUST TEA, TEA CULTURE
Jesse believes the key to making good tea is to help his Chinese tea friends share not just their best teas, but the best ways to make the teas.
That's why each box comes also comes with an info card that tells you:
- Tea Origin
- Steep Temperature
- Steep Time
- Directions for both teapot steeping and gaiwan steeping
All Jesseโs Teahouse Tea Friends (thatโs you now!) also get access to private YouTube videos where Jesse and his Chinese tea friends show you how to make the teas and explain the tea-making process.ย
The links are on QR codes on the back of the info card included in the tea box.
Don't Forget Your Tea Pets!
In Chinese Gongfu Tea Tradition, Tea Pets accompany you at teatime and you "raise" them by feeding them tea! Don't forget to check the tea pet page before you go!
