The processing method of Huoshan Huangya tea is controversial today

The Tang Dynasty scholar Li Zhao recorded in his "Supplement to the National History" that "Shouzhou has Huoshan Yellow Bud tea," which has a history of over a thousand years. However, today's Huoshan Yellow Bud tea is a historically significant tea that was only restored to production in 1971. Its intangible cultural heritage plaque indicates that it is made using green tea techniques, and in terms of processing characteristics and product features, it is more similar to roasted green tea. If you want to drink authentic processed yellow tea, Mengding Yellow Bud tea is a more reliable choice. High-quality Huoshan Yellow Bud tea has a clear, bright yellow-green liquor and a high, refreshing aroma with a hint of roasted chestnut, but it is "not thoroughly yellow."
