Tea (Camellia sinensis): Yellow Tea

Last Updated: Apr. 26, 2010

Yellow Tea is a style of tea usually considered distinct from Green, Black, White, and Oolong teas, although much less well-known in comparison to these styles. Sometimes yellow teas are classified as a subcategory of green tea. Some xue ya / snow buds, which RateTea.net classifies as a white tea, is also sometimes classified as a yellow tea.

The production process for yellow teas is similar to that of green tea, but the leaves are allowed to sit while damp, turning them yellow. Although yellow teas are an ancient style of tea, some companies, including Rishi Tea, sell newly developed styles of yellow tea.

Many yellow teas are considered rare teas, and can be very expensive.
