The term Ming Qian Cha – 明前茶 Before Qing Ming, i.e., harvested in early spring when the leaves are supposedly of the highest quality, assuming e.g. the cultivar has not been solely developed for an early pluck. It literally means teas harvested before the spring festival of Qing Ming-清明 (early April).
Yunnan Cui Ming
“Green Spring” – a higher variety of green tea from Yunnan from the early harvest, full of spring energy.
Medium-sized, regularly twisted leaf. A large proportion of petals combined with a bud and two apical petals. It comes from one of the ecologically cleanest Yunnan tea plantations.
Infusion of light yellow color and fresh aroma with a slightly spicy floral-fruit component, which finally sweetens on the palate and lets a pleasantly sweet aftertaste fade away.
