- Tea type

Taste
- Dry Leaf Appearance
- Even, slender buds or shoots of flat/needle form, covered with white down (白毫显露). Color — bright tender green with a light silvery sheen from the fuzz.
- Dry Leaf Aroma
- Fresh, clean, with a chestnut base (栗香) and light floral top notes. Ultra-early batches are characterized by a delicate "spring" aroma — greenery, young grass, light s...
- Liquor Aroma

Details
- Picking
- Ultra-early spring harvest: the finest batches are collected already in late January–February, when tea bushes in other provinces are still dormant. This is due to the mild wint...
- Pluck Standard
- For premium green Tianfu Long Ya — single bud (独芽) or one bud with one beginning-to-unfold leaf (一芽一叶初展). The raw material must be tender, thick, juicy, with abundant down.
- Raw Material
- Not all Sichuan teas can use the "Tianfu Long Ya" brand — only products meeting approved production standards and included in the quality traceability system.
- Alkaloids
- Caffeine — within 25–35 mg/g; in synergy with theanine provides mild, prolonged stimulation.
- Amino Acids
- Elevated content — early spring buds accumulate maximum L-theanine over winter. The high proportion of amino acids provides pronounced freshness (鲜味, xiānwèi) and sweetness.
- Essential Oils
- Chestnut profile forms during firing (pyrazines, furanones); floral notes — linalool and geraniol from original raw material.
