The Intricate Craft of Mogan Huangya Yellow Buds

No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used in the production of our teas. Click here to learn more about our commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices.

Mogan Huangya Yellow Buds originates from the misty peaks of Mogan Mountain, an area renowned for its pristine environment and high-quality tea. Local farmers begin by carefully plucking only the most tender tea buds during the early spring harvest. These buds are selected for their vibrant freshness, ensuring they produce a tea that is both flavorful and aromatic.

The leaves undergo a unique yellowing process that defines this tea category. After a brief period of withering to reduce moisture, the buds are pan-fired to halt oxidation, preserving their delicate flavors. They are then wrapped and allowed to rest, enabling the characteristic yellowing to occur naturally. This controlled process enhances the tea’s mild sweetness and smooth texture. The final stage involves drying the leaves to lock in their exceptional flavor and aroma. For more details on our traditional tea-making techniques, visit our About Us page.
