Hwang cha, yellow tea from South Korea

Yellow tea is produced in very small quantities as the production method is very complicated.
This hwang cha (yellow tea) tea comes from a valley in Hadong, where tea has been produced since the 9th century.
This yellow tea is in a class of its own, as the presence of rich animal and plant life in the plantation and the gentle processing of the tea has resulted in a tea with rare and deep notes. The tea is briefly wrapped in cotton cloths that encourage a process where the tea also develops fine flavour notes.
Very small quantities of this type of tea are produced, so if you have an interest in tasting tea produced in the most perfect circumstances, you should try this tea.
