China Yellow Dragon Organic from TeaGschwendner
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: ?????95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 23rd, 2021
The first yellow tea I have ever tried and I am quite impressed. As soon as I got the dosage right (certainly higher than the recommended 11g/liter), I found a very interesting flavor profile (it was not that interesting with a lower dosage). It is somehow reminiscent of some Oolongs or First Flush Darjeelings, but mor...

Keke Gul Te (Nr. 765) from Carstensens Tehandel
Style: Junshan Yinzhen – Region: China72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 22nd, 2020
Half-litre pot at home, made from inch-long thin handrolled leaves - they look like tiny sticks. Pours clear light straw (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of tea (yellow, to be sure, but the scent is not very different from that of green or white), with a faint touch of peach. Delicate bitter flavour ...

Prep – 4.1 grams in 18 ounces 175° F. water for 4 minutes. Added 2 ounces ice. No sugar. No milk.

Flavor – A very flavorful yellow tea (5/5), with a vegetal taste, but not a grassy taste like green teas.

Huang Ya Imperial Yellow Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Huangya – Region: China45 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
May. 19th, 2018
Yellow tea! I was turned on by the possibility of trying a new variety of tea, one that I had not heard of before. But this was nothing groundbreaking - it seemed to fall in between the green and oolong styles, leaning toward oolong. It was all right, but there were no revelations here. Overpriced imo.

Huang Da Cha from Unami
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: Anhui, China50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 1st, 2017
I drank this tea in the Unami Maison de Thé in Lille. It was served prepared in a small teapot. This means it was made exactly as it should, though I didn't get to see any leaves.
My first impression was an intensely nutty and earthy aroma. The flavour is nutty too, but not as strong as expensive. It reminds me of ...
Yellow Mudan from Jasmine Pearl Tea Company
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: Hunan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 8th, 2015
The aroma is mild and sweet, with notes of dried cherry and peonies (aha, so that is where the name comes from!) with a very delicate note of nasturtium and raisins, vaguely reminding me of a Darjeeling.
Ok, I have to say it, HOLY MOLY FLOWERS! Hehe, the taste is super flowery, with a blend of peony and honeysuckle...
Hunan Gold from Adagio Teas
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: Hunan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 10th, 2015
First up, the aroma is like spring time, specifically it evokes my favorite flower (ok one of them, I really love flowers) peony! It also has the aroma of delicate orange blossoms, chestnuts, and just a hint of mown grass and honey. The notes are delicate, reminding me more of a breeze bringing in these aromas through ...

Darjeeling 2nd Flush 2014 Jungpana AV2 Yellow Tea from What-Cha
Style: Yellow Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 10th, 2014
This tea's aroma is pleasantly transportive, not that I can really figure out where it takes my mind, but I can say it is somewhere deep in my memories and very comforting, it makes me wistful. Emotional impact aside, the notes are peppery, distant blooming flowers, sweet muscadines, and a tiny touch of sweet, warm hay...

Huoshan Huang Ya Yellow Tea from What-Cha
Style: Huangya – Region: Huoshan, Anhui, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 4th, 2014
The aroma of the dry leaves is quite sweet, there are notes of lightly roasted sweet corn, gently roasted sesame seeds, bamboo leaves, and a tiny hint of tomato leaves. At the finish of the sniff there is a hint of smoke. It is odd, every yellow tea I have had has had that tiny hint of smoke at the finish, I find that ...

Jun Shan Yin Zhen from Camellia Sinensis Tea House
Style: Junshan Yinzhen – Region: Hunan, China70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 8th, 2013
I really wanted to like this tea. "Camellia Sinensis" has a very good reputation and I'm a huge fan of Jun Shan Yin Zhen. Unfortuantely, while this particular tea is GOOD and has a near-excellent value, it isn't GREAT. I steeped 2.5g at 190F for 3 minutes.This tea is known for being mild in flavour yet even with this s...

Huo Shan Yellow Buds from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Huangya – Region: Huoshan, Anhui, China63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 23rd, 2010
This is the first yellow tea I've sampled and in many respects it resembles a green tea.
The aroma is fairly rich; there are some of the grassy tones that characterize many green teas, but these are weak and in the background. A bit peppery like Upton describes, and also a bit perfumey. Subtle, but with a lot of d...
