Typically, tea tree varieties planted elsewhere require three years of management before they can be formally harvested, whereas within the meteorite crater area, they often need only two years. The same variety grown within the crater area also has particularly plumper and more tender buds and leaves compared to other regions, especially northern ones, with richer internal compounds, allowing for year-round picking. Furthermore, the fresh leaves from tea trees planted within the crater area produce a finished product that is more fragrant, rich, and mellow than similar products from other areas.

 Four Methods to Determine the Authenticity of Baisha Green Tea

 1. The main Baisha Green Tea products currently on the market are primarily bagged series, which underwent a packaging change after October 2009. Therefore, if you find old packaging labeled "Baisha Green Tea" with production dates after October 2009 in the market, they are counterfeit.

 2. Anti-counterfeiting label: The national geographical indication label on authentic Baisha Green Tea shows an embossed "China" under sunlight, whereas counterfeit products lack this embossing.

 3. Tea quality: Authentic tea leaves are overall uniform, green and lustrous, brewing into a clear, yellow-green liquor. In contrast, counterfeit products often contain more impurities, have more and coarser stems, larger leaves, and result in a bland, bitter taste when brewed.
