Photosensive Tangya White Tea First Grade culvars have light-colored young shoots during the Enshi, Hubei, China me of year when the sun is most acve, and when there is less sunlight, their leaves become darker and acquire the usual green color. Huangjinya, Yu- Jin-Xiang and Jinguang tea variees belong to this group of albino culvars. Young leaves of thermosensive albino tea trees are lighter in color when air temperature is low, but when it rises to 20- 22°С, the leaves become greener. Anji Baicha and Xiaoxueya belong to the group of thermosensive albino culvars. The main characteriscs of teas made from albino leaves are approximately the same and do not depend on the nature of albinism.

If albino tea trees are shaded, their leaves turn greener, but their catechin content nevertheless remains lower than in non- albino teas: doi.org/10.1038/srep45062 Near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics enable us to disnguish quickly and non-destrucvely between 05 issuetwo.2019 All albino tea trees can be divided into two groups: Albino Tea photosensive and thermosensive.
