Laser-induced fluorescence monitoring of Chinese longjing tea

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of a bush and numerous branches of Chinese Longjing tea were investigated remotely with lidar techniques. The intensity ratio between the far red fluorescence (FRF) and red fluorescence (RF) due to the chlorophyll content of the tea branches were analyzed to study the growth conditions in different villages around Hangzhou, China. Dried Longjing tea leaves were also measured by LIF techniques in the laboratory. A chemometric method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used to evaluate the tea qualities of the dried tea leaves.
