The invention mainly relates to the technical field of tea processing, and discloses a method for preparing yellow tea, which includes: picking, cleaning, first-time yellowing, greening, initial kneading, second-time yellowing, re-kneading, drying, and packaging; the method is simple, It can be prepared in batches, and the whole process avoids high-temperature frying, saves energy, and retains the nutritional content of tea leaves. The obtained yellow tea has a strong fragrance, and the tea leaves and tea soup are apricot yellow, which can be brewed and drunk many times to improve the nutritional utilization of yellow tea; Rinse in running water in the mountains after picking to increase the nutritional content of the tea leaves, remove the pollutants in the tea leaves, avoid the tea washing process when brewing and drinking, and fully retain the nutritional components of the yellow tea; Fermentation produces a large number of small molecular aromas and nutrients, which increase the mellow taste of yellow tea, and the small amount of alcohol produced can dissolve chlorophyll, destroy the activity of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase, and turn the tea from green to yellow, from brittle to brittle. soft.
