From Nannuoshan

ORIGIN: Jinjishan village, Dahuaping Zhen, Huoshan, Lu’an, Anhui, China
MEANING: Huoshan yellow buds (Huoshan huang ya)
CULTIVAR: Jinji
HARVEST TIME: 12 April 2021
TASTE: Roasted walnut, apple cider vinegar, mint

One of the very few and rare types of yellow tea, the production of Huoshan Huang Ya dates all the way back to the Tang Dynasty and has been listed as a Chinese intangible cultural heritage. A sip of these tangled, pleated leaves will tell why: its unusual, full-bodied flavor satiates with a viscous vegetality topped by an aroma of roasted walnut and the tantalizing acidity of apple cider vinegar. Its sure to satisfy those who enjoy a hearty grain and vegetable salad, while a minty hui gan cools the palate and keeps it refreshing. A unique profile for the tea lover that likes to taste it all.

[Spring 2021 harvest]

Good yellow tea that reminds me of a Dong Ding oolong at times, but it has also got more of fermentation notes and at times more bitterness.

Dry leaf aroma reminds me of a clean barn with its hints of hay, compost and wood as well as of coffee leaves. Wet leaves then smell of canola, fried chicken and mint.

I’ve had two sessions with the tea, one with close to boiling water and one with lower temperatures. I definitely prefer the former due to a better thickness, the liquor has an oily rather than watery texture then. It gets bitter, but not aggressively so, and astringency is never an issue. The tea is brightly nutty, mineral and floral with a pungent sweet aftertaste. It gives off a warm, summery vibe.
