Scope
GB/T 14456.2-2018 is the English-translated version of 绿茶 第2部分:大叶种绿茶.
Part 2 of China's green tea standard, covering dayezhong - the green tea made from the large-leaf tea varieties grown mainly in Yunnan and the south-west. It specifies the terms and definitions, the product grades and physical reference samples, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules, and the marking, labelling, packaging, transport and storage of large-leaf green tea. The varietal distinction that this part exists for is real and not administrative. The large-leaf assamica-type plants have a markedly higher content of polyphenols and of caffeine than the small-leaf varieties of the east, which gives a stronger, thicker, more astringent liquor with a different aroma - and it is also why those leaves are the raw material for pu-erh and for most Chinese black tea. A green tea made from them is therefore a different product from a green tea made from small-leaf material, and it cannot be graded against the same descriptors or the same reference samples, which is precisely why the series is split by variety before it is split by shape or process. Issued on 6 February 2018 and in force since 1 June 2018, it replaces GB/T 14456.2-2008.

--- Part 2. Large leaf green tea;
--- Part 3. Green tea in the middle leaflet;
--- Part 4. Bead tea;
--- Part 5. Eyebrow Tea;
---Part 6. Steamed green tea. This part is part 2 of GB/T 14456. This section was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009. This section replaces GB/T 14456.2-2008 "Green Tea Part 2. Large Leaf Green Tea." This section compared with GB/T 14456.2-2008, the main technical differences are as follows:
--- Modified normative references (see Chapter 2, Chapter 2 of the.2008 edition);
--- Increased the definition of steamed green tea, fried green tea, baked green tea, and sun-dried green tea (see 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5);
--- Fried green tea, baked green tea, and sun-dried green tea are no longer subdivided into Maocha and refined tea, and the sensory quality requirements of each tea have been revised (see 5.2,.2008 edition of 5.2);
--- physical and chemical indicators no longer distinguish between Maocha and refined tea, the broken tea index into powder (see Table 5,.2008 version of Table 8);
---Increase the project of tea polyphenols and catechins, and clarify the four physical and chemical properties of water-soluble ash, water-soluble ash alkalinity, acid-insoluble ash and crude fiber Indicators are reference indicators (see Table 5). This section was proposed by the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives. This section is under the jurisdiction of the National Tea Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC339). This section was drafted by: China National Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Hangzhou Tea Research Institute, Yunnan Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, Yunnan Tengchong Gaoligongshan Ecological Tea Industry Co., Ltd.

1 Scope
Part 2 of China's green tea standard, covering dayezhong - the green tea made from the large-leaf tea varieties grown mainly in Yunnan and the south-west. It specifies the terms and definitions, the product grades and physical reference samples, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules, and the marking, labelling, packaging, transport and storage of large-leaf green tea. The varietal distinction that this part exists for is real and not administrative. The large-leaf assamica-type plants have a markedly higher content of polyphenols and of caffeine than the small-leaf varieties of the east, which gives a stronger, thicker, more astringent liquor with a different aroma - and it is also why those leaves are the raw material for pu-erh and for most Chinese black tea. A green tea made from them is therefore a different product from a green tea made from small-leaf material, and it cannot be graded against the same descriptors or the same reference samples, which is precisely why the series is split by variety before it is split by shape or process. Issued on 6 February 2018 and in force since 1 June 2018, it replaces GB/T 14456.2-2008.
