Why is the tea in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day called new tea?

New tea is the tea bud collected in the Qingming Festival and the first tea in the Spring Festival. In spring, the temperature is moderate and the rainfall is abundant, so Qingming tea has green color and soft leaves. In addition, spring tea is generally free of pests and diseases, and no pesticides are needed. Tea is pollution-free and rich in vitamins and amino acids. The fragrance is mellow, peculiar and elegant, and it is a good product in a year.

People like to drink new tea, because most new teas are better in taste and color than old ones. However, from the point of view of nutrition and health care, new tea and old tea are better and have better nutritional components. After the following year, some acids, esters, alcohols, amino acids and vitamins in tea are oxidized or condensed by the action of light, heat, water and gas to form other water-insoluble or volatile compounds, and what tea people need is effective. However, some special teas, such as Pu 'er tea, Tuo tea, Liubao tea and black tea, are exceptions. As long as it is stored properly, the older it is, the better its quality will be.
