Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Softer and rounder than a green tea from the same leaf, with the grassiness replaced by a mellow grain sweetness — which is exactly what the yellowing step does.

- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Roasty, sweet and full-bodied, with the yellowing barely detectable under the heavy fire. Cheap, robust and the yellow tea most likely to be encountered by accident.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Straightforwardly mellow, with a grain sweetness where a comparable green tea would be grassy. The best first yellow tea, because it is affordable enough to buy alongside a green tea and taste the two side by side.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Mellow and corn-sweet, with the grassy note of a young green tea replaced by something closer to warm grain. The difference from an unyellowed bud tea is subtle but consistent, and is easiest to notice in the finish.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Rounder than a Sichuan green bud tea but keeping more freshness than Junshan Yinzhen — the lighter end of what yellowing does, and a useful comparison point for understanding the step.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Softly smoky over the grain sweetness that yellowing produces — a combination with no real parallel elsewhere in tea, and the reason the tea is worth seeking despite its scarcity.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Lighter and more floral than Hunan yellow tea, and a good illustration that yellow tea is a process rather than a fixed flavour.

Recommended because
- It is a yellow tea, which you chose.
Toastier than other yellow teas because of the added roast, and a useful demonstration that the category is not a single style.

A filter is only offered when every published tea carries the field. A partially populated facet ranks by who happened to have a value, and the reader cannot see what was dropped.
What is deliberately not here
- Caffeine level — 11/261 teas have a measured estimate
Filtering on it would silently exclude most of the catalogue. Category is not a substitute: matcha and gyokuro carry more caffeine than many black teas.
- Umami — 43/261 teas have the axis authored
Genuinely meaningful for shaded Japanese greens and rarely assessed elsewhere, so it cannot join the intensity model without skewing it toward one origin.
- Health goals — sleep, energy, digestion — no field exists
Nothing in the model records what a tea is for, by design. These require the evidence-backed health layer and its human review, which is not signed.
This finder describes what a tea is. It has no field for what a tea is for, so it cannot answer questions about sleep, energy or digestion — and would rather say that than guess.
