黄茶

黄茶，名之由来：人们从炒青绿茶中发现，由于杀青、揉捻后干燥不足或不及时，叶色即变黄，于是产生了新的品类--黄茶。

黄茶的制作与绿茶有相似之处，不同点是多一道闷堆工序。这个闷堆过程，是黄茶制法的主要特点，也是它同绿茶的基本区别。绿茶是不发酵的，而黄茶是属于发酵茶类。这道工序有的称之为“闷黄”、“闷堆”，或称之为“初包”、“复包”、“渥堆”。

黄茶，按鲜叶的嫩度和芽叶大小，分为黄芽茶、黄小茶和黄大茶三类。黄芽茶主要有君山银针、蒙顶黄芽和霍山黄芽;黄小茶主要有北港毛尖、沩山毛尖、远安鹿苑茶、皖西黄小茶、浙江平阳黄汤等;黄大茶有安徽霍山、金寨、六安、岳西和湖北英山所产的黄茶和广东大叶青等。

黄芽茶之极品是湖南洞庭君山银针。其成品茶，外形茁壮挺直，重实匀齐，银毫披露，芽身金黄光亮，内质毫香鲜嫩，汤色杏黄明净，滋味甘醇鲜爽。在国际和国内市场上都久负盛名，身价千金(现北京市场零售价每市斤已逾千元)。

安徽霍山黄芽亦属黄芽茶的珍品。霍山茶的生产历史悠久，从唐代起即有生产，明清时即为宫廷贡品。霍山黄大茶，其中又以霍山大化坪金鸡山的金刚台所产的黄大茶最为名贵，干茶色泽自然，呈金黄，香高、味浓、耐泡
