Yellow Tea - a legitimate category of tea or is it just "off" green tea?

- Yellow tea is an interesting category of tea. There are differences when you compare them to traditional Chinese green teas but, are there enough differences to warrant its own category?
Issue #3 of the Tea Discovery Club featured three different Yellow teas which we taste in this video and attempt to answer the question - is Yellow tea a legitimate category of tea or, is it really just "off" green tea?

Found your channel recently. Very informative 🤗wish you had your shop in Austria instead of Australia 😉
Me too! :)) Nach Austria habe ich es nicht so weit. :))
@@petermartinka9274 👍🙏🏻
Du Karoline, schau mal den Tee aus dem Tea estate Arakai in Australia. Habe ich getrunken, war geschockt, unbelievable tea! :) Versuche es mal, wirst du nicht bereuen. LG. Peter aus der Slowakei.
Thank you. It's always humbling to know that people on the other side of the world are watching :)
@@petermartinka9274 Found the black Arakai tea in Munich. Complete different from any black tea I have tasted before. So nice to drink a tea which comes not from India, China, Japan etc. Great tea. Aftertaste is amazing!
This seems a bit of an acedemic debate; there is an additional process that seperates the two - whether it's a catagory or sub catagory isn't very important IMO esp when the tea catagories fail pretty regularly; Darjeelings esp. 1st flush aren't black and you will also see oolongs darker than blacks
I think you are right. If the producers of yellow tea did not sell their tea under the name "yellow", but gave it a standard name, for example green dragon huhu :), then no one would look for anything yellow in it. On the other hand, on the market, tea is already sold under the label yellow, so I would leave it as it is, with the fact that if the given tea did not taste really exceptional, then I would say: this is not yellow tea! There used to be a commercial like this, the guy took a drink of whiskey and said, This ain't Jim Beam! Something like this.
Yeah there's no turning back on this and Yellow tea is going to officially remain as a 6th category of tea. Gotta hand it to the originators though - they did try something different, something new (at the time), and it gives producers another lever to play with when producing great and interesting tea
@@teaangle I've been watching your channel continuously for 2? maybe even 3 years. I really appreciate the information you share about tea. I wish you a lot of success. Peter from Slovakia.
Thank you for the support. Much appreciated 🙏
@@teaangle You are welcome.
The only yellow teas that I've had that tasted dramatically different from green tea were from Yunnan
Yellow tea from Yunnan sounds interesting. Would love to see how it differs from (or are similar to) Yunnan green teas and Raw Pu'erh
