In India, the existing clones and variety of tea plants have been developed for manufacturing of black tea (CTC & Orthodox Tea). But till now no clone & variety of tea have been identified exclusively for manufacturing of Green Tea (steamed/ roasted) So one humble attempt was made to identify tea clones from the existing released clones for preference of manufacturing Green Tea on the basis of their taste & their Polyphenol: Amino Acid ratio. Selected ten clones representing the China Jat, Assam Jat, Cambod Variety and Industry released Clones of Assam on the basis of their availability and potential quality on CTC & Orthodox Tea were analyzed with their morphological character, chemical analysis and green tea taste by tea taster indicates that TV-17,TV-7,P126 and S3A3 have the best potentiality for manufacturing green tea.
