Scope: This document specifies the terms and definitions of Mochuan purple tea and white tea, product classification and physical standard samples, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, labeling, packaging, transportation, and storage. This document applies to the Mochuan tea-producing area. It uses fresh leaves (tender buds, tender leaves, and tender tips) from purple-leaved tea trees [Camellia sinensis (Linnaeus) O. Kuntze] registered as national varieties as raw materials (with anthocyanin content not less than 2%), and processes them through withering, drying, and sorting to produce Mochuan purple tea and white tea with specific quality characteristics. Main technical content: Based on the actual situation of purple tea production in the Mochuan production area, this document divides products into different grades according to raw material grade, tea-making process, and quality characteristics. The product names include Mochuan Purple Snow Bud, Mochuan Purple Peony, Mochuan Purple Gongmei, and Mochuan Purple Shoumei. Compared with national standards, the product classification better highlights local and variety characteristics.
