Details
Picking
Spring harvest from February to April. Thanks to high effective temperature sums in early spring, Pujiang leads tea zones in Zhejiang and Jiangsu by 10–35 days.
Alkaloids
Caffeine content elevated compared to summer-autumn harvests, providing pronounced tonic effect. Theobromine and theophylline also present.
Amino Acids
≥3.5%, substantially higher than average for green teas (usually 2–3%). L-theanine — main component responsible for characteristic taste freshness, relaxed concentration effect ...
Essential Oils
Complex of volatile compounds forming "clean aroma" (清香) and "chestnut notes" (栗香), fixed by manual aroma enhancement stage (提香).
Minerals
Zinc and magnesium — natural markers of Pujiang soils; potassium, manganese, fluorine.
Polyphenols
≥25%. Among catechins, EGCG and EGC predominate — powerful antioxidants. Relatively high level for early green tea, due to abundant cloudy illumination and moderate altitude.
