Details
- Cultivar
- Depends on production region:
- Picking
- Main season — spring (March–April). Summer and autumn harvests are also used, but spring is valued significantly higher.
- Pluck Standard
- For high-quality Hong Longzhu — bud + 1–2 young leaves. For mass production, more mature leaves (2–4 leaves) are acceptable. The more tender the raw material, the smaller the pe...
- Raw Material
- For elite Hong Longzhu — fresh, undamaged, uniform shoots with high tip content. Pearl size is usually 5–8 g — this strictly determines the amount of leaf needed.

- Caffeine (咖啡碱) — 3.5–5.0%, theobromine, theophylline. Yunnan large-leaf tea typically contains somewhat more caffeine than small-leaf.
- Amino Acids
- 2–4%, including L-theanine. Provide sweet aftertaste and mild calming effect.
