When is a good time to pick tea?

1. The time for picking tea leaves will vary according to the origin and variety of tea leaves.

2. Generally speaking, the time for picking tea leaves can only be within 7- 10 days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is also stipulated that nine conditions can't be picked, namely, rainy day, windy and frosty day, insect injury, thinness, bending, hollowness, tea bud opening, purple tea bud, inappropriate size and so on.

Generally, the time of tea picking is in the early morning, when the humidity is the highest and the weather is cool. When the tea leaves are stacked, the other kind of tea leaves will not ferment or shrink, and the tea leaves will be protected to the maximum extent before frying, so that the fresh flavor will not disappear.

There are several kinds of teas in China. Personally, Xinyang Maojian tea picked in spring tastes the best. If you want to buy safe and pesticide-free tea, you can order it in Jiupin official website, where pheasants are raised under the tea trees and there are fewer pests.
