Mengding Huangya Yellow Tea (Yellow Bud Tea)
The Golden Elixir of Sichuan’s Tea Holy Land
Celestial Origins
Born in the misty peaks of Mengding Mountain – China’s first recorded tea-growing region (since 53 BC) – this rare yellow tea was once reserved for emperors. Grown at 4,500ft elevation where ancient tea trees drink mineral-rich spring water and bask in filtered sunlight through bamboo forests. Our tea masters follow a 2,000-year-old “Three Roasts, Three Wraps” technique: hand-rubbing buds in yak wool cloth to activate their golden hue during the sacred *menhuang* (yellowing) process.
