Pingyang extra morning tea

Small tree type, middle leaf type, especially early seed. It was bred by single plant breeding method from the population species in Daping Village, Aojiang Town, Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. It was recognized as a tea variety in Zhejiang Province in 1998. A few varieties were introduced in other tea areas in the province and in Anhui and other places. The main characteristics of this variety are as follows:

The main results are as follows: (1) the plant is of medium size, the tree posture is half-open, the branches are dense, and the leaves are obliquely attached. Leaves oval, leaf length 6.5~8.9cm, leaf width 3.1~4.0cm, leaf color dark green, glossy, leaf surface slightly raised, leaf body slightly inflexed, leaf thick and soft. The bud leaves are green, the hairs are more, the internodes are short, and the weight of one bud with three leaves is 39.8g. There are no buds either in the place of origin or in the place of introduction.

(2) the bud leaves grow neatly, the tenderness is strong, and the spring tea germinates very early. In the producing area, it generally germinates in mid-January, shows one bud and one leaf from late February to early March, reaches the peak period of one bud and three leaves in mid-March, and the picking of spring tea before Qingming Festival can end. Because of the high density of bud leaves, high yield, early acquisition and early listing, the economic benefit is good. For example, the 5-mu 5-year-old tea garden in the Shuitou famous tea development field of Pingyang County can produce Zhejiang Longjing tea 17.9kg and fried green tea 82.5kg per mu, with an output value of more than 6100 yuan per mu (of which Longjing tea accounts for 71.4%).

(3) according to the biochemical determination of dry samples of spring tea, the variety contains 4.8% amino acids, 22.9% tea polyphenols, 4.5% caffeine, 40.3% water extract and 4.8 phenol / ammonia ratio, which is suitable for making Longjing, Huangtang, Maofeng, Biluochun and other teas. The Longjing tea made with it has a flat and smooth shape, straight and sharp cut, emerald green color, long-lasting fragrance, refreshing taste, bright green soup color and good quality.

Pingyang extra early tea cuttage survival rate and emergence rate are high, transplanting survival rate is more than 98%, the general year can survive the winter normally. It is suitable to use single-row or double-row double-strip planting of cutting seedlings. Due to the early germination, spring tea sprouting fertilizer should also be applied early, preferably at the end of last year. After it is put into production, it is necessary to harvest it in batches in time, and it is not suitable to prune when the garden is closed at the end of the year. It is better to prune after the harvest of spring tea. The northern tea area should pay attention to the harm of "late spring cold".
