Yellow tea

I've only had a few yellow teas (in Asia) and love them but don't know
how to get them in the US. I do drink Yellow Tea Coins,which are good
but I wish I could find more of the whole leaf Yellow. I'd appreciate
recommendations. Thanks.

Ten Ren has yellow tea (golden needle) but I haven't tried it and
don't know if it's good. Ten Ren has some reputation for good tea
that's somewhat overpriced. Toci

HuoShan Huang Ya or Huo Mountain Yellow Sprout is easy to find on the
Internet.

Let me jump in here and say that the tea to which Lew refers from
In Pursuit of Tea delights me. It's fresh and full flavored, full
of the character you want. It doesn't hold back. It gently tastes
of earth. I hope I'm not betraying a trust to say that Sebastian of
IPOT, when he found this tea where it is produced in the old way,
was immediately pleased with it, especially since he found the
producer fairly hidden among the screaming commercial venturers
hawking long jing wannabes. A gem in a dungheap, as it were.
(no disclaimer at all, and proud of it,
though I am a happy customer)

I should mention that I've never drunk the Ten Ren version
Toci mentions, but there is something about Ten Ren that
does not invite me in.

Teaspring and Seven Cups carry it, although I have not tried. ITC has
a good one.

Welcome back. I put out feelers in some of my posts but nobody said
anything.
