Its processing method is similar to that of green tea, and its production process is: fresh leaves are crushed and twisted-dull yellow and dry. Yellow tea's processes such as curing, rolling, and drying are similar to those of green tea. The most important process is yellowing, which is the key to forming the characteristics of yellow tea. The main method is to wrap the cured and twisted tea leaves in paper.
