He is guessing that the yellows teas are "partially fixed to keep them only somewhat green" and "likely not withered" and "probably oxidize very slowly and only partially." If even he isn't sure exactly what yellow teas are, we mere mortals probably can't expect to know for sure! But the mystery is intriguing, isn't it!Angela McRaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13273293189684752811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-40161532483748755312009-08-01T10:01:51.870-04:002009-08-01T10:01:51.870-04:00I like the tea "nut" part!This is an int...I like the tea "nut" part!<br>This is an interesting link regarding yellow teas:<br>http://www.yellowtea.net/<br><br>Another thing I like about the link is the photo.
