Huang Cha Yellow, Organic
Huang Cha is a Chinese yellow tea. Yellow tea production includes an additional resting stage after heating the leaves, giving the cup a softer character than many green teas.
Our tasting notes describe a golden liquor, a chrysanthemum-like aroma with a faint suggestion of jasmine, and a mellow, lightly sweet flavor. Steep at the temperature below, taste before adding anything, and try another infusion.
Contains Caffeine
Ingredients: Organic Yellow Tea
How to brew
- Tea: 2.5 g of dry tea per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water
- Water temperature: 190°F (88°C)
- Steep time: 2–4 minutes, then strain or remove the tea bag.
- Cups per ounce: Approximately 11 cups per ounce (28.35 g), using 2.5 g per 8-fl-oz cup. This estimate counts the first infusion only.
Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
