- Picking
- Spring — preferable; young buds and leaves are collected from late March through April. Summer and autumn batches also exist but are inferior in aroma and delicacy.

- Usually one bud + one-two upper leaves (一芽一叶 or 一芽二叶). For Yunnan versions, larger leaf is acceptable.
- Raw Material
- Healthy, undamaged buds and leaves with pronounced silvery down. Fraction uniformity is important for forming aesthetically attractive spiral form.

- Alkaloids
- Caffeine (咖啡碱) — 2–4% dry mass; theobromine and theophylline — in trace amounts. Caffeine and L-theanine synergy provides gentle tonic effect.
- Essential Oils
- Aromatic profile simpler than Dongting Biluochun; aldehydes (hexanal, trans-2-hexenal), terpenoids (linalool), and grassy-green components dominate.
