YellowTeas This rare tea is known for its time-consuming production process, which gives the leaves a ripe, juicy aroma without any bitter undertones. Both the infusion and the leaves themselves have a distinctly yellow colour. The early stages of processing are similar to green tea, but the key difference comes at the end: instead of being dried quickly, the damp leaves are gently dried over several days, layered and covered with linen cloth. During this time, the breakdown of chlorophyll turns the leaves yellow and gives the tea its unique, honey-sweet flavour. Like green tea, yellow tea has a positive effect on health.

Today, tea is mainly grown in the Kenyan highlands at altitudes ranging from 1,520 to 2,750 metres above sea level.
