Amazing Benefits of Yellow Tea

Yellow tea is a specialized type of tea that is made exclusively in China (closely related to green and black tea), in terms of preparation and flavor. This type of tea is also known as hwangcha in Korea and huángchá in China but is also known as Sichuan tea. The preparation process for these tea leaves is similar to green tea, except the leaves are allowed to oxidize further, which can give them more of a yellow appearance. The tea leaves are allowed to sit in the air to oxidize, then they are fried to stop the oxidation process before being wrapped in a special material for 2-3 days, then roasted. The resultant leaves have a yellow-brown color and can be brewed to make yellow tea.
This type of tea is becoming increasingly rare and expensive, despite the fact that some believe it is healthier than green tea. It’s the same active ingredients (such as caffeine, catechins) that are present  in it are also found in green tea.
