The raw materials of one bud, one leaf, and one bud, two leaves were selected from 10 tea tree varieties with a certain planting area in Zhejiang Province, and the tea samples prepared by yellow tea processing technology were selected. Through expert sensory review, routine component detection and catechin content analysis, it was concluded that the tea samples prepared by two varieties, Yujinxiang and Zhonghuang No. 1, were bright and oily in dry tea color, and bright yellow and green in soup color. The flower or chestnut fragrance is more obvious, the phenol-ammonia ratio and the total amount of catechins are lower, the taste is fresh and the bitter taste is lower, and all of them can be used as suitable products of yellow tea.
