Yellow tea is a fermented green tea, but so much more. It's clean, fresh, sweet, yet slightly brothy flavor emerges from a process that Jason and Timmy at The Great Mississippi Tea Company have made all their own.The origins of yellow tea have been shrouded in mystery — over the centuries only tiny amounts have been made and appreciated by tea conniosseurs in China and Korea. Although it's still rare, more and more people have had a chance to taste it: it never ceases to amaze and delight!In this series of classes, we'll guide you through the essentials of creating a yellow tea from your leaf— from the pluck to the cup. You'll:<ul><li>learn the how and why of each step; </li><li>explore the proper processing equipment for the quantity of leaf you grow;</li><li>and discover how you'll know when you've got it right!</li></ul>October 9 (11am - 12pm CDT) - Plucking: find out why certain leaves are better than others for yellow tea, and why you can be "less picky;" October 16 (11am - 12pm CDT) - Sun Withering/Conditioning: traditional yellow tea isn't sun-withered, but Jason and Timmy found that this step adds a special floral note to their tea and they do it without sun!October 23 (11am - 12pm CDT) - Kill-green/Sweltering/Fermenting: how you go from kill-green to fermenting and how you go about fermenting will dictate the panoply of flavors you will get from your leaves — methods to choose from and how to monitor your results will be key;October 30 (11am - 12pm CDT) - Rolling &amp; Drying: how to roll and dry — and why!
