Recently, tea farmers at Danzhai County, southwest China's Guizhou province, are busy collecting the Ming Qian tea.

时下，丹寨县的茶园进入“明前茶”采摘高峰期，茶农们抓紧农时采摘茶叶。

Chinese people always values the first batch of spring teas. The Ming Qian tea, a kind of tea picked before the Tomb Sweeping Day, are widely considered the best tea of the year. The spring’s lower temperatures help the tea leaves maintain a higher level of fragrance.

中国茶以“早”为贵，特别是明前和雨前茶，被认为是一年中最好的茶，价格也最高，所以又有“明前茶，贵如金”之说。
