Details
- Cultivar

- Picking
- Spring — March–May (premium grades); summer-autumn — June–October (mass grades). Due to the warm climate, up to 25–26 pickings per year are possible.
- Pluck Standard
- Bud with one to two upper leaves for named teas; more mature raw material is acceptable for mass shaiqing and hongqing grades.
- Raw Material
- Young, uniform, without mechanical damage. For some teas (bamboo tea, tea from ancient trees), large-leaf raw material with pronounced "wild" character is acceptable.
- Alkaloids
- Caffeine — 3.0–3.6%. Theobromine and theophylline — in trace amounts.
- Amino Acids
- 2.5–4.0% depending on variety and growing altitude. L-theanine dominates, providing balance between polyphenol bitterness and sweetness.
