I spent summers on my grandparents tea estate in northeast India. Suffice it to say my tea education started young! With that note on my background, I state emphatically that this yellow tea is my absolutely favorite cup of tea.
There is a mild white floral aroma and a slight buttery and green taste. What’s so incredible about this tea is that it’s intense, but so smooth and soft. It lacks the heavy aftertaste of many green tea’s. I adore it.
Now I’m going to share with you a little secret. Starbucks owns Teavana, as many of you know. If you sign up for a Starbucks Gold Card, after every 12th drink you receive one item in EITHER Starbucks or Teavana for free. I use my free credit for 1 ounce of loose-leaf Golden Dragon yellow tea, worth about $15. In this way I replenish my stash of yellow tea without breaking the bank.
Even otherwise, I highly recommend Golden Dragon Yellow Tea.
