Angel's Comment:
The key fragrance note: sweet; the compound note is nectar aroma. The tea is very sweet with elegant aroma.
Huoshan black tea actually has a long history. It was produced as early as the 1950s and sold to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Although Huoshan black tea is not well-known, it is of high quality and has outstanding characteristics. The tea liquid is pure and soft, full-bodied, with multiple flavors like sweet potatoes, flowers and fruits, and prominent nectar aroma, which is very similar to the well-known "Keemun fragrance".

Yujia Ecological Tea Garden is located in Huo Shan County, Anhui Province, around 400 metres above sea level. This location has a subtropical monsoon climate, which is distinguished by significant monsoons, distinct four seasons, copious rainfall, and a favorable ecological environment for the cultivation of tea trees. To achieve sustainable tea production, tea gardens are managed in accordance with ecological disciplines, scientific fertilization, and green pest and disease prevention and control.
Mr. Wang was born in Huoshan County, Anhui Province, one of the oldest tea production areas in China. Thanks to the influence of his growing environment and tea culture, he returned to his hometown as soon as he graduated and began to engage in the cultivation, production and promotion of tea, and committed to spread Huo Shan tea from his hometown to all over the world. He not only manufactured yellow tea, but he also began to research and produce black tea after being encouraged by his friends. He said: "Making tea can spark curiosity and encourage self-cultivation. I will be overjoyed every time I produce a high-quality tea." He will continue to make tea, continue to explore, and provide high-quality tea to all tea lovers.
This Huang Xiao Cha Yellow Tea originates in Huoshan County, which is located in western Anhui Province, in the Dabieshan interior.
The area has an abundant yearly rainfall of around 1500 mm, which is most concentrated between May and July. The humidity tends to stay at around 80-90%, which is perfect for growing tea plants. The forest cover rate is up to 75.1%.
The main products here in Huoshan County are tea, medicinal materials, and a bamboo variety called Mao bamboo. The Fo Zi Ling dam - the first reservoir dam in Asia, and many other natural and human-made landscape features can also be found here.
Huang Xiao Cha chooses tea plants grown by local Qunti Species, aged varietals, with no pesticide residues and minimal chemical fertilizers. Qunti species emerge from human-cultivated tea trees over time. They are also ancient tree species that have sexually reproduced due to long-term natural selection. This group exhibits generally uniform biological traits. They've been bred this way for decades and have excellent resistance. For example, under extreme weather conditions, they have relatively great resilience to cold, high temperature, and pests and illnesses. The tea produced is of exceptional quality, with a rich scent and full flavor.
