Cyclocarya paliurus tea, also known as "sweet tea", a health substitute tea with leaves raw material, is famous for its unique nutritional benefits and flavor. However, due to the "bittersweet" of it still unable fully satisfy consumers' high-quality taste experience oral pleasure. The sensory quality are mainly determined by secondary metabolites. Therefore, this study aimed explore metabolites in during their growth process, particularly composition variation sweet bitter compounds, combining multi-platform metabolomics analysis an electronic tongue system molecular docking simulation technology. results indicated that there were significant differences contents total phenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides saponins C. different growing months, among which bioactive components harvested July highest, best balance between sweetness bitterness was achieved. A 575 identified potential active related sweet/bitter using nontargeted based on UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. Molecular technology utilized interactions candidate receptor T1R2/T1R3 T2R4/T2R14. Six key compounds high low successfully computational analysis, including cis-Anethole, Gluconic acid, beta-D-Sedoheptulose, Asparagine, Proline, Citrulline, may serve candidates modification leaves. These findings provide new perspective understanding characteristics contribute distinctive
