About Huo Shan Huang Ya 霍山黃芽
Huang Ya means yellow bud and refers to the yellow hue of both the fresh and the finished tea leaves. Our Huang Ya is an heirloom varietal from the prized region of Huo Shan. Huang Ya is known for its notes of sweet nuts, and umaminess.
Our Huang Ya is made in Jin Ji Shan, by an incredible female tea maker. Xu A-yi is the matriarch of the family who makes some of our Huang Ya. She’s especially skilled at Zhuang Huo/La Huo, a very difficult flash-roasting process during the refining part of Huang Ya.
Yellow tea is a micro-fermented tea. It has a profile similar to green tea, but is little rounder, smoother with a warmer mouthfeel.
Tea Drunk’s Huang Ya is “yellowed” 3 to 7 times for a total of 160-260 hours. To finish fining the tea, it is put on a bamboo tray to be flashed roasted over charcoal for an hour. This technique, Zhuang Huo, is unique and ancient to the region. Zhuang Huo is a precarious step because the tea leaves are already dry, but it is essential for producing the most excellent tea. It repels any last bit of impurity and solidifies all the notes with an enhanced aroma.

This product is from one of those super rad, small businesses that we’ve vetted and love. But since they're the experts, they'll be shipping it directly to you.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
