How to distinguish between tea before Ming Dynasty and tea after Ming Dynasty?

It can be distinguished from the appearance, taste and price of tea.

1 appearance

Tea before tomorrow: Tomb-Sweeping Day picked it. The tea picked in this period will be tender and less disturbed by pests and diseases, so the quality will be better.

Tea after Ming Dynasty: Tea after Grain Rain and before long summer is generally coarse and old, with poor quality, which is not as delicate as that before Ming Dynasty.

Step 2 taste

Before the Ming Dynasty, the main feeling of tea was "fresh", and because of the accumulation in the whole winter, tea contained many substances, so it had a strong aroma. During the period from Qingming to Grain Rain, tea trees grew vigorously, but the contents were relatively rich, with fresh taste and pure aroma.

3. Price

The tea before tomorrow is affected by temperature, and the growth rate of tea buds will be slower, so the number of tea buds that can be picked will be less. Things are rare, so its price will be higher.

In China, every15th day of the lunar calendar is a solar term, which is about "fright" on March 5th, "vernal equinox" on March 20th, "Qingming" on April 5th, "Grain Rain" on April 20th and "long summer" on May 5th. Ancient agricultural production has always been guided by solar terms. So is tea production. Early-developed varieties often germinate at the time of "fright" and "vernal equinox", and tea can be picked before "Qingming". The quality of Qianming tea is very good because of its tender buds and rich aroma and taste substances. However, before Qingming, the temperature was generally low, the germination was limited, the growth rate was slow, the yield that could meet the picking standard was very small, and things were rare, so the tea before Qingming was more precious.
