The difference between Qianming tea and Bailu tea

Qianming tea and Bailu tea are both green tea, but their production time is different, so their tastes and characteristics are different.

1. Time difference

Tea before Ming Dynasty refers to the tea produced around Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, that is, spring tea. During the Qingming Festival, the sun is shining, the temperature is suitable, the tender leaves of tea trees sprout, and the spring rain is raining. The quality of tea made in this period is the best. Bailu tea refers to the tea made around the autumnal equinox every year, that is, autumn tea. In the Millennium, the weather is dry, the dew is white, the tender leaves of tea trees are thick, the texture is tender and the water content is low, and the tea produced is white.

2. Flavor difference

Because tea leaves before the Ming Dynasty were picked in spring, the fragrance was elegant, the taste was fresh, sweet and lasting. Bailu tea is collected from tender leaves in autumn, so it has a warm aroma, sweet taste and lasting sweetness, but it is a little old compared with tea before the Ming Dynasty.

In a word, the difference between Qianming tea and Bailu tea mainly lies in the different picking seasons, so their taste and aroma are also different.
