Notes#
Selection. The Hunan Tea Research Institute selected a single plant from the Anhua population. Registration: GPD 茶树（2019）430020; the earlier national approval dates to 1994.
Use. Recommended for green tea, particularly Gaoqiao Yinfeng. Shoots lose tenderness relatively quickly, making timely picking important. Baihao refers to downy hairs, not the white-tea processing category.
