Quality characteristics of summer tea

In most tea-producing areas of China, tea tree growth and tea harvesting are seasonal. Usually, tea leaves are divided into three seasons according to the picking time: spring, summer and autumn. However, the division standards are inconsistent. Some solar terms: Qingming to Xiaoman is spring tea, Xiaoman to Xiaoshu is summer tea. Some are divided by time: spring tea is picked before the end of May, and summer tea is picked from early June to early July. The tea of that year picked after July is considered as autumn tea. The quality characteristics of spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea are described as follows:

In different tea seasons, there are great differences in the appearance and quality of tea. For example, green tea has moderate temperature in spring, abundant rainfall, green color, soft leaves and rich amino acids and vitamins, which makes spring tea fresh and refreshing, full of aroma and obvious health care function. Moreover, spring tea generally has no pests and diseases, and there is no need to use pesticides. Tea leaves are pollution-free, so spring tea, especially early spring tea, is often the best quality in a year.
