　　Wuyun Quhao is produced in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province, and is a famous tea newly developed by the county's Agriculture Bureau in 1988. The production area is surrounded by mountains, densely forested, crisscrossed with streams, with flowing springs, high relative humidity, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil—all conditions ideal for tea tree growth. Fresh leaves are picked around the Qingming Festival, selecting one bud with one initial leaf that is strong and hairy, approximately 2.5–3.0 cm in length, with 100 buds weighing between 4.5–6.0 grams. The processing involves fixation, hand rolling, initial drying, ball rolling for shaping, and slow roasting to dryness. During the ball rolling stage, the tea leaves in the wok are divided into 2–3 clusters and alternately rolled and shaped. The finished product features tightly rolled, slender leaves with a vibrant green hue and visible fine hairs; the tea liquor is bright tender green, with a lasting delicate aroma, a refreshing taste, and a sweet aftertaste; the leaf base is green and bright.
