《茶疏》记载：长兴罗界山所产的茶，怀疑就是古人所说的顾渚紫笋茶。这种茶生长在山中，被称为“罗界”，罗姓人家隐居于此，因此得名“罗界”。《西吴枝乘》记载：湖州人品茶不看重顾渚茶，而看重罗界茶。顾渚茶中最好的品种，其风味已经不如龙井茶；罗界茶的嫩梢虽然清雅俊秀，但叶片粗糙且带有草气。
《嘉靖长兴县志》记载：罗界茶产于互通山西土地庙后方，出产的茶品质最佳，吴地人非常珍视它。凡是茶叶以清明前初生者为佳，唯独罗界茶立夏后才开园采摘，此时梗粗叶浓，略带竹笋（肖箬）的气味。还是夏前六、七天如雀舌般的嫩芽最为难得。然而因为寺庙后山西侧向阳，所以号称好茶，但总不如洞山南向，独自接受阳气，专门称为仙品，面积只有几十亩罢了。凡是生长在平地的茶，多受泥土气息影响，所以质地浑浊。罗界茶产于高山岩石之上，纯粹是风露清虚之气，所以值得推崇。《长物志》说：浙江长兴产的罗界茶很好，价格也很高，现在最受重视的是荆溪产的稍次一些。采茶不必太细，太细则芽刚萌发味道不足；不必太青，太青则茶已老味道不嫩，只有成带叶绿色且团浓的为上品。不宜日晒，用炭火烘焙过，扇冷后，用箬叶衬垫装入罐中储存在高处，因为茶最喜欢温燥，而忌讳冷湿。
味道甘甜，香气浓郁，性质平和，能涤除痰浊、清利肺脏，消除烦闷、消减鼓胀。
治疗咳嗽的秘方《医学指南》记载：用川贝母、茶叶各一钱，米糖三钱，共研为末，用滚开水送服。
产于台湾，在深山中，众树遮蔽，雾露浓密，晨曦和晚照都不能照射到，颜色绿如松萝茶，每年通事（官职名）采集。性极寒，治疗热症最有效，能促使痘疹发出。
《台湾志》记载：属于草类，黄花五瓣，叶子像瓜子，也是五瓣，根像藤，刨取后晒干。如果遇到时行疫病身体不适，熬茶饮用来治疗时行疫病引起的腹胀，或者郁闷不舒畅。
*Cha Shu* (Tea Manual) records: The tea produced in Luojie Mountain, Changxing, is suspected to be the Guzhu Zisun (Purple Bamboo Shoot) tea mentioned by ancient people. This tea grows in the mountains and is called "Luojie"; a family surnamed Luo lived in seclusion there, hence the name "Luojie". *Xiwu Zhicheng* (Branches of Western Wu) records: People in Huzhou do not value Guzhu tea but value Luojie tea. Among the best varieties of Guzhu tea, its flavor has already fallen short of Longjing tea; although the tender shoots of Luojie tea are elegant and refined, the leaves are coarse and carry a grassy odor.
The *Jiaxing Changxing County Gazetteer* records: Luojie tea is produced behind the Earth God Temple on the west side of Hutong Mountain. The tea produced there is of the best quality, and people from Wu highly cherish it. Generally, tea is best when picked before the first rains of spring; however, Luojie tea only opens for picking after Lixia (Start of Summer). At this time, the stems are thick and leaves dense, with a slight bamboo shoot aroma. It is still the buds like sparrow tongues six or seven days before summer that are hardest to obtain. However, because the area behind the temple faces west and receives sunlight, it is hailed as good tea, yet it is not as good as Dongshan facing south, which alone receives yang qi and is exclusively called "Immortal Product," covering only dozens of mu. Tea produced in flat lands is mostly affected by earthy qi, so its texture is turbid. Luojie tea is produced on high mountain rocks, purely composed of the clear and empty qi of wind and dew, thus it is worthy of esteem. *Changwu Zhi* (Records of Superfluous Things) states: Tea from Changxing, Zhejiang, is good and also very expensive. Currently, Jingxi tea is slightly inferior. When picking tea, it need not be too fine; if too fine, the buds have just sprouted and lack sufficient flavor. It need not be too green; if too green, the tea is old and lacks tenderness. Only those that are green with leaves, round, and dense are superior. They should not be sun-dried; instead, they should be roasted over charcoal fire, fanned to cool, lined with bamboo leaf sheaths, stored in jars at a high place, because tea prefers warmth and dryness while avoiding cold and dampness.
Taste is sweet, aroma is fragrant, nature is neutral. It clears phlegm and benefits the lungs, relieves irritability, and reduces abdominal distension.
Secret recipe for treating cough from *Yixue Zhinan* (Medical Guide): Use Chuanbeimu (Fritillariae Bulbus) and tea leaves, each one qian, and rice sugar three qian. Grind them into powder together and take with boiling water.
Produced in Taiwan, deep in the mountains where trees block the view, fog and dew are dense, and neither morning sunlight nor evening glow can penetrate. Its color is green like Songluo tea. Every year, the Tongshi (official title) collects it. Its nature is extremely cold; it is most effective in treating heat syndromes and can induce the eruption of smallpox/variolous eruptions.
*Taiwan Zhi* (Gazetteer of Taiwan) records: It belongs to the grass category, with five-petaled yellow flowers. Leaves resemble melon seeds, also having five lobes/petals. Roots resemble vines; they are dug up and dried in the sun. If one feels unwell due to epidemic qi, brewing it as tea treats abdominal distension caused by epidemic diseases or feelings of stifling depression and discomfort.
