Notes#
Origin. The International Camellia Register, citing the Chinese tea cultivar monographs, locates it in Sanyang village, Lutian, Anxi. It records a small-tree growth habit and medium-sized leaves.
Naming. Meizhan identifies the plant cultivar, while a tea sold under that name can have different processing. It is not by itself evidence of Wuyi origin.
