[Characteristics and properties]: Shrub type, early-blooming species, half-open posture, medium leaf type, leaf length 8.6 cm, width 3.4 cm, narrow elliptic, leaf bearing posture upward. The exploitation period in Hangzhou area is generally in late March, and the blooming period of one bud and two leaves is generally in late March, the germination density is in the middle, with less velvet, the length of one bud and three leaves is 9.8 centimeters, and the weight of one bud and three leaves in one hundred buds is 60.2 grams. The biochemical sample of one bud and two leaves in spring contains 16.4% of tea polyphenols, 4.8% of amino acids, 3.6% of caffeine, and 50.0% of water leachate. Suitable for green tea.
