Identity and origin
Mengding Huangya is a bud-focused yellow tea from Sichuan's Mengding Mountain, combining tender material with controlled yellowing.
Craft and leaf style
Buds are fixed, wrapped or rested for yellowing, then dried in stages. The craft aims to soften raw green notes without making the tea dull.
Aroma, taste and texture
Mellow bean, sweet grain, corn silk and a gentle floral finish are common directions.
Practical guidance
Try 2-3g per 250ml at 80°C for 2 minutes.
Identification and caution
Verify that the tea is yellow-processed rather than a green tea marketed under a familiar name.
