Casting about for teas to drink last night, I ran across a small amount of this 2022 Meng Ding Huang Ya Yellow tea from Rivers and Lakes Tea. After yesterday's intense puerh experience, seemed like a nice change of pace.
Yellow teas are typically bud only pick, similar to early spring green tea. The difference is in production, where green teas are dried immediately after kill green, yellow teas are allowed to oxidize a bit in enclosed bags before being dried. They have a richer mellower flavor than similar green teas.

Misty foggy morning, giving green tea a break and finishing off the Taiwanese yellow tea from the Hoyum Tea blind tasting.

Going through my tea boxes I found a small packet of Meng Ding Huang Ya, aka Misty Peak Yellow Tips, from Rivers and Lakes Tea. With all the talk of yellow tea recently, thought it would be good to review. As you can see, the pick standard and finishing shape is quite different from the Taiwanese yellow I tried a few weeks ago. Similar flavor/scent to the nutty chestnut-like character of dragonwell, but with touch more sweetness.

From the taste and appearance of the brewed tea, my initial instinct was that Ho Yum Mystery tea No 3 was a yellow tea, but the shape of the dry tea and pick standard was nothing like any Chinese yellow tea I'd tried, so I second guessed myself that it might be some sort of raw Liu Bao. Well, it turns out my first instinct was right, tea No 3 was a Taiwanese organic yellow tea made from the "Green Jade" or Cui Yu cultivar.
