Notes#
Parentage. Zhongcha 108 is the seed parent and Longjing 43 the pollen parent. CAAS used embryo culture and tissue-culture propagation during breeding.
Use. The breeder recommends curled baked green tea and flat-shaped green tea, with black tea also possible. Its reported two-to-three-day lead over Longjing 43 is a Hangzhou observation.
