Details
Cultivar
Yellow maocha of "huang dacha" category (黄大茶 — "yellow large-leaf tea"), having undergone standard processing with "double sealed yellowing." Thus,...
Picking
Spring, summer, autumn. For compressed tea, later and more mature leaves are acceptable than for loose tea.
Amino Acids
Content lower than in loose tea from fine raw material (large leaves accumulate fewer amino acids), but sufficient for forming sweetness and gentleness.
Minerals
Elevated content of selenium, zinc, potassium — reflection of Dongting Lake soil geochemistry, enhanced by the "mineral pressing" effect during compression.
