"I succeeded in making the yellow tea with buds, leaves and a combination of buds and leaves. What sets apart Saikia's yellow tea is the drying process. This is the characteristic of yellow tea. Initially, there was some problem, but later I perfected it through constant monitoring and meticulous handling of the parameters," Rakhi said.Rakhi has produced 8kg of yellow tea and a Kolkata-based broker has shown interest in procuring it. I opted for buds and leaves because making yellow tea with buds alone is very costly and time-consuming.Since I am new to this variety, I did not want to take the risk of increasing the cost of production by using only buds," explained the planter..
