Yellow Tea -FBOP (Medium Grown)

    Yellow Tea -FBOP (Medium Grown)

    Following the initial withering and pan-frying process, akin to that of green tea production, the tea leaves are enveloped in a cloth and allowed to undergo a subtle oxidation and fermentation stage. This phase, commonly known as 'yellowing,' imparts the distinctive yellow hue to the tea and results in a unique flavour profile. The taste of yellow tea can be characterized as mellow, smooth, and slightly sweet, exhibiting fewer grassy or vegetal notes when compared to green tea. The yellowing process is believed to eliminate some of the astringency and grassy undertones typically associated with green tea, while preserving the tea's freshness and natural sweetness.

    Tea Preparation Guide

    Water Quality & Heating

    The water should be heated until a steady stream of air bubbles gently raise to the surface. At this point, the water is sufficiently heated and also has preferable oxygen content. In contrast, using water that has been held at a fierce, rolling boil can leave tea tasting dull and flat.

    • Best Water SourcesAlways use freshly drawn, cold water to prepare tea. Purified and spring water are best because they are relatively free from pollutants and other substances that can dramatically alter tea's taste.
    • Mineral ContentOn the other hand, it is preferable for the water to have some natural minerals content, as they may enhance the tea's flavour. For this reason, distilled water should be avoided since the lack of minerals will leave the tea tasting flat.
    • Avoid Pre-Heated WaterSimilarly, one should never use pre-heated water—as from the faucet, for instance. This kind of water has mostly likely been overheated, thereby losing oxygen content while picking up possibly harmful substances from the water pipes.

    Recommended Brewing Technique

    Follow these simple steps for the perfect cup of tea:

    1. 1Bring the water to boiling point (100°C)
    2. 2Pour the water over 2g of Tea
    3. 3Infuse for 2-3 minutes
    • Always use freshly drawn, cold water to prepare tea
    • Never use pre-heated water as it has lost oxygen content and may contain harmful substances
    • Adjust steeping time based on personal preference and tea type
    • Follow specific brewing temperatures and times provided on individual tea product pages for optimal results
