Huo Shan Huang Xiao Cha

A good yellow tea, processed as Mao Feng or Maojian. Huang Xiao Cha means Small Yellow Tea and refers to the better quality of the later harvest, while Huang Da Cha (Big Yellow Tea) would be the cheapest quality, and Huangya the most refined one from buds only. Huoshan Huangya is one of the classic yellow teas, like other yellow teas, is usually produced in a very green way, as it is the contemporary trend. It can thus hardly be differentiated from green teas. This Huoshan Huangxiaocha, however, has been produced in a classic way, really yellow, through the traditional "Menhuang" process: packed and piled up in portions over several days, it turned or sweat itself "yellow". From time to time those packages of tea leaves are unpacked and then wrapped up again. Finally dried above charcoal.
