　　Yellow Flower Cloud Tip has an elegant appearance, vibrant green color with visible fine hairs, and outstanding quality. It boasts a high and lasting aroma, a mellow and refreshing taste with a sweet aftertaste, clear and bright liquor, and tender, fat, green, and shiny leaves. The tea is categorized into Special Grade 1, Special Grade, Grade 1-1, and Grade 1. Special Grade 1 uses fresh leaves with one leaf embracing the bud; Special Grade uses one bud and one leaf just unfolding; Grade 1-1 uses one bud and two leaves just unfolding; Grade 1 uses one bud and two leaves.

　　The tea-making process includes withering, fixation, first drying, second drying, and final drying. Fixation is divided into raw pan and ripe pan stages—the raw pan completes the “fixation,” while the ripe pan combines shaping. Between each drying stage, the tea is cooled and spread out, then thoroughly dried to achieve full dryness. The finished product is packed while hot, sealed in cylinders.
