[Variety Number] Non-major Crop Variety Registration No. GPD Tea Tree (2024) 430019. [Variety Source] The Tea Research Institute of Hunan Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences used 'Huangqi' as the female parent and 'Echa No. 1' as the male parent, and adopted the crossbreeding method to Characteristics [Characteristics]: Shrub type, mesophyll, mesophyll. The tree posture is semi-open, with strong growth potential, medium branching part and medium branching density. The leaf blade is slightly oblique, elliptic, 10.8 centimeters long, 4.4 centimeters wide, green, and acuminate. In Changsha area, the exploitation period is generally in the middle and late March, and the blooming period of one bud and two leaves is generally in the late March; the germination density is medium, with less velvet; the length of one bud and three leaves is 6.3 centimeters, and the weight of one bud and three leaves in one hundred buds is 70.5 grams. Flowering period for the annual mid-October to mid-November; petals light green, the ovary has hairy, pistil and so higher than the stamens. Spring tea bud two leaves biochemical samples containing tea polyphenols 24.3%, amino acids 3.9%, caffeine 3.4%, water leachate content of 38.2%. Suitable for black tea. The black tea is tightly knotted and moist, with golden hair, sweet aroma with floral flavor, and the taste is still sweet and mellow with floral flavor. The first growth cycle mu yield of one bud and two leaves is 754 kg, 112% higher than the control 'Fuding big white tea'; the second growth cycle mu yield is 660 kg, 6.40% higher than the control 'Fuding big white tea'. It is resistant to tea cloudy leaf blight, tea anthracnose, tea cake disease, false eye small green leafhopper, tea orange gall mite, coffee small clawed mite, strong cold resistance, strong drought resistance. [Suitable for planting area and cultivation technology points] Suitable for winter planting in Hunan tea area. The climatic period of the mid-life is late, can be reasonably matched with the early varieties.
