Details
- Pluck Standard
- For highest grades—one bud and one-two young leaves (一心一葉, yī xīn yī yè; 一心二葉, yī xīn èr yè). Buds must be covered with abundant white down.
- Raw Material
- Exclusively tender, undamaged young shoots. For elite batches, the "one-day standard" applies: the entire cycle from picking to final drying is completed within 24 hours.
- Alkaloids
- Moderate content of caffeine, theobromine, theophylline.
- Amino Acids
- Elevated L-theanine content due to spring picking and foggy microclimate. L-theanine is responsible for taste sweetness (umami) and relaxing effect.

- Iron, potassium, manganese, fluorine—conditioned by acidic red soils of the region.
- Polyphenols
- High content, including EGCG—the main antioxidant of green tea.
