'''Yellow tea''' (~~Chinese: [[wikt:黃~~|~~黃]][[wikt:茶|茶]]; pinyin: huángchá~~) usually implies a special tea processed similarly to [[green tea]], but with a slower drying phase, where the damp tea leaves are allowed to sit and yellow. The tea generally has a very yellow-green appearance and a smell different from both [[white tea]] and [[green tea]]. The smell is sometimes mistaken for [[black tea|black]] if the tea is cured with other herbs, but similarities in taste can still be noticed between yellow, [[green tea|green]] and [[white tea|white]] teas.
