Breeding. The register describes individual selection during 1960–1987 and national recognition in 1994 as GS13008-1994.

Plant and use. Medium spring sprouting and elongated leaves are documented. A tea made from this cultivar is not automatically Xihu Longjing; origin and processing still matter.
