Yellow tea

Yellow tea is a special type of tea that is made in China. To make yellow tea, first, the tea leaves are picked from the tea plant. Then, the tea leaves are left outside in the sun to wilt for a while.

Next, the tea leaves are put into a big pot and cooked for a short time. This is called "fixing" the tea. After that, the tea leaves are wrapped in a cloth and left to rest for a while. This lets the tea leaves turn yellow in color, which is where yellow tea gets its name from.

Once the tea leaves are yellow, they are spread out and dried in the sun. This is called "firing" the tea. When the tea is dried, it is ready to use.

Yellow tea has a unique taste that is different from other types of tea. It is said to be smoother and less bitter than other teas. It also has a slightly sweet and floral flavor that is very pleasant.

Because yellow tea is made in a special way, it is considered to be a rare and valuable tea. It is not something that you will find in your local grocery store, but it is a tea that tea lovers seek out and enjoy.
