In the world of tea leaves, various terms containing the character "qing" (green or fresh) abound, each representing different processes and characteristics. Today, let's delve into the various "qings" found in tea leaves and uncover their mysteries. 1.

Introduction to Yellow Tea Varieties
Yellow Tea VarietiesYellow tea shares similarities with green tea in its production, differing only in the additional process of "wet piling." This wet piling process is the main characteristic of yellow tea's manufacturing method and its fundamental distinction from green tea.
