Drink Bailu tea

During the Bailuyuan period, the most popular folk custom was to drink Bailuyuan tea. This kind of tea was picked in the Millennium. There is a folk saying that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, tea is needed, and autumn dew is needed". At this time, after the heat, the Millennium is a good time for it to grow. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. It has a little too much flavor, giving people just the right feeling. Take a sip gently, and your lips and teeth will remain fragrant and full of sweetness, which is deeply loved by old tea customers.
