Yellow Tea from Anhui Province, China
Huo Shan Huang Ya is a yellow tea first made during the Ming Dynasty. When harvesting the tea, only the new tea buds and one leaf or two unopened leaves next to the bud are picked.
A very complex and refreshing tea. Heady, herbal notes are blending together with a mix of mellow vegetal flavors: green peas, green beans with the sweetness of a fresh carrot juice in the background. While the first flush is silky and delicate, the second infusion is more of a charisma with freshly steamed spinach notes stretching into a lasting, sweet finish.
As the flavors get only headier with time, this tea can be kept for long time and is perfect for aging.
Origin: Huoshan County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about 5-10 seconds. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
