Hunan Yellow Tea 2oz

What is Adagio Teas Hunan Yellow Tea 2oz?

Adagio Teas Hunan Yellow Tea 2oz is a specialty loose-leaf tea sourced from Hunan, China, known for its rare yellow tea processing method. Unlike green or black teas, yellow tea undergoes a slow, post-oxidation 'sealed yellowing' step that mellows bitterness and develops a smooth, complex character. The large, twisted leaves unfurl during brewing to produce a luminous golden-yellow infusion. With its airy aroma and dry, crisp fruitiness, this tea offers a refined experience distinct from more common tea types. Packaged in a 2oz resealable pouch, it provides ample servings for daily sipping or sharing with guests.
