Although there are several names of yellow tea to be found on the internet, the only two varieties of yellow tea that can be bought in any quantity (although still scarce) are Jun Shan Yin Zhen (a Silver Needle yellow tea from the Hunan province) and Huang Ya (Yellow Bud from the Anhui province). These are both picked while the leaves are young and still rolled up into buds. Other yellow teas do exist, and some of them consist of larger leaves that are picked later in the growth cycle.
Acquiring yellow tea is not as challenging as it once was. The Internet has made it easy to order all kinds of tea from online vendors, although not all of them stock yellow tea. Those who do often offer starter packs or samplers. This makes it easy for you to try out several vendors to find the yellow tea that is right for you.

Yellow tea is gathering popularity in the West, as more and more tea lovers request it from their vendors. Also, more health-conscious people catch on to the advantage of getting the same health benefits as green tea from a tea that has a much milder flavor.
