The origin of longjing tea before the rain ~

Tea before the Ming Dynasty and tea before the rain are the names of spring tea in different stages of Jiangnan tea area in the Yangtze River basin in China according to the solar terms. "Tea before tomorrow" is the tea picked before Tomb-Sweeping Day, and "Tea before rain" is the tea picked before Tomb-Sweeping Day and Grain Rain. The quality of tea before tomorrow is good, and that before rain is still good. Tea before long summer in Grain Rain is generally coarse and old, but its quality is poor. As for women's picking, there are many legends that Xinyang Maojian Tea and Dongting Biluochun are the main ones. Virgins should pick them with their mouths, not their hands, and pay tribute to the royal family. What the landlord said about the chest is somewhat illusory.
