Description
An authentic yellow tea is a rare thing! While first created in China, Korea is also home to many treasures. All yellow teas undergo a common process: menhuang, an oxidation process that involves wrapping the tea in cloth to transform the tea's colour and aromas.
An unparalleled bouquet of aromas that blends yellow fruit, fresh hazelnut pieces, vanilla and minty hint. A complex, enthralling profile!
This tea is organically grown and has been certified by an approved independent testing center.
