What kind of tea is Qianming tea, and where is its origin?

The tea leaves picked before Tomb-Sweeping Day are collectively called Qianming Tea. . The quality of Qianming tea is very good because of its tender buds and rich aroma and taste substances. However, before Qingming, the temperature was generally low, the germination was limited, the growth rate was slow, the yield that could meet the picking standard was very small, and things were rare, so the tea before Qingming was more precious.

The origin of tea before Ming dynasty

Tea before Ming Dynasty is the name of spring tea at different stages in Jiangnan tea area of the Yangtze River valley in China according to solar terms. Mingqian tea is a kind of tea picked before Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tea before tomorrow is tender and of good quality, and tea before rain is of good quality. Tea leaves after Grain Rain and before long summer are generally coarse and old with poor quality.

In China, every15th day of the lunar calendar is a solar term, which is about "fright" on March 5th, "vernal equinox" on March 20th, "Qingming" on April 5th, "Grain Rain" on April 20th and "long summer" on May 5th. Ancient agricultural production has always been guided by solar terms. So is tea production. Early-developed varieties often germinate at the time of "fright" and "vernal equinox", and tea can be picked before "Qingming". The quality of Qianming tea is very good because of its tender buds and rich aroma and taste substances. I hope I can help you and adopt it. Thank you.
