Yellow tea is a light-fermented tea. The processing technology is similar to green tea. It is only before or after the drying process, adding a “sweet yellow” process to promote partial oxidation of polyphenol chlorophyll and other substances. The processing method is similar to green tea, and the production process is as follows: fresh leaves are succulent - sallow and dry. The process of killing, smashing and drying of yellow tea is similar to that of green tea. The most important process is boring, which is the key to the formation of yellow tea. The main method is to wrap the tea after the smashing and smashing. Or after being stacked, covered with a damp cloth, the time varies from several tens of minutes or several hours, and the tea slab is subjected to non-enzymatic auto-oxidation under the action of hydrothermal to form a yellow color.
