Pre-Qingming Spring Tea: A Cup of Spring, an Embodiment of the Way of Tea

Before the Qingming Festival, the chill of winter lingers, and all living things remain in quiet dormancy. Nourished by the long winter, the tea trees have accumulated a wealth of rich, internal qualities during this time. Pre-Qingming tea comes from this cool, calm season. People call it a "treasure among teas."Many say it is "as precious as gold." It offers a delight for the palate and is a perfect vessel for the Chinese Way of Tea. It reflects frugality, beauty, harmony, and respect.

This early spring tea is both a gift of time and a legacy of culture. Through its unique color, aroma, flavor, and appearance, it reflects the deep spirit of the Chinese Way of Tea. It invites the drinker to enjoy the lasting fragrance. It also encourages calm thought about life’s grace and poise.
