Huo Shan Huang Da Cha

Very good classic everyday yellow tea. Da Cha means "big tea" and means cheaper quality from big leaves, shaped similar to the Meicha. This Anhui Huangdacha comes from the Huoshan from the local tea plant, typical of the yellow tea from Anhui province and is the simpler alternative of the Huoshan Huangxiaocha. The process of "yellowing" (Menhuang in Chinese) takes about half a month, with three roasts over charcoal in between.
