#Tea @tea

When I first heared about existence of a yellow tea or HuangCha which is mostly not present in West, I was excited about this novelty.

This is a third tea of this category to me and I'm coming to the idea this category isn't interesting to me.

"Emperor Gold" - tippy #HuangCha from Huoshan County, Anhui [Spring '22, CTL] via craftedleaf-tea.com. It's a yellow tea by processing mostly, as it could not be named so formally (origin and cultivar are different).

#Tea @tea

I drunk it yesterday and today (with the same leaf material), I had a overall ok impression, it's even didn't affect sleeping much. But that's about all.

So far, #HuangCha is just a rounder, less grassy version of a typical Chinese #LuCha (green tea). It's even boring.

It's ok to have a standard, boring beverage, just not what I'm looking for in general.

In addition to easy green profile it has nutty notes and smell, but again I'm not big fan of that.

@gemelen I feel a bit pushy about this 😇 but I'd love to try this one on our next catch up 😌 it looks grassy and interesting

@bender Pff, don't worry, I've about 40 grams of this stuff left, so totally doable.
