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.

Bi Tan Piao Xue
"Snow Falling on Jade-Green Pool" - a beautifully poetic name hides a high-quality green tea from the early spring harvest from Mount Meng Ding which was richly scented with the best autumn jasmine, even in a ratio of 5: 1 (5 kg of jasmine flowers were used per 1 kg of tea).
Jasmine flowers are also abundant in the tea itself (although they no longer add other aromas - they have an aesthetic effect and give meaning to the poetic name of the tea).
The tea is a distinctly jasmine-sweet fruit flavor with a rich aroma that lasts for many pours.
