What does Pu 'er tea mean in the spring before tomorrow?

Qianming tea is a kind of tea picked before Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is a good tea with few pests, tender buds and leaves, fragrant color, mellow taste and beautiful appearance. At the same time, because the temperature before Qingming is generally low, the number of germination is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the picking standard is very small, so there is a saying that "tea before Qingming is as expensive as gold", which not only exists in every kind of tea in Pu 'er. Tea before the Qing Dynasty is a kind of spring tea.

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 tea before Ming Dynasty was tender and of good quality, while the tea before Yu Dynasty was of good quality. Tea leaves after Grain Rain and before long summer are generally coarse and old, with poor quality.
