The yellow flakes are leaves that were not tender enough to be cooked properly, they appear all along the processing of Pu-erh tea. Yellow flakes are prevalent in  old trees material because the pickers tend to pick older leaves than in the natural tea gardens, up to 1 bud\/4 leaves. When processing such mature leaves, a lot of them don't cook well in the wok, they overdry and become the equivalent of pop-corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese leaves have an unappealing aspect in the maocha; they must be sorted out, either by hand or by machine. These leaves taste sweet and display a different fragrance than standard maocha, they can be either brewed or boiled. This tea can be brewed Gongf-style but also performs very well in a glass; you will hardly get much bitterness from overbrewing, only sweetness comes out of yellow flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow flakes are underated because of their aspect, which makes them great price for value if you only care about taste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"250g cake (8.8 oz)","offer_id":2587741683750,"sku":"17年 景迈 古树 黄片 250克","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample (0.7 oz)","offer_id":2587741716518,"sku":"17年 景迈 古树 黄片 20克","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/products\/spring_2017_jingmai_gushu_yellow_flakes_3.jpg?v=1509082167","url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.live\/products\/spring-2017-jingmai-yellow-flakes","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
