March is the last month of spring, when all things will revive and begin a beautiful growth process. The third month of the lunar calendar is a time full of vitality because it is the most beautiful.What is Guyu Tea?Guyu tea is the spring tea picked during the Guyu season (the new tea picked before the Guyu season is called "pre-rain tea"), also known as the second spring tea. The temperature in spring is suitable, the rainfall is abundant, the tea shoots and leaves are plump, green in color, soft in texture, rich in vitamins and amino acids, the tea leaves are fresh and have a pleasant aroma. Guyu tea has one bud and one young leaf or one bud and two young leaves. Tea leaves with one bud and one young leaf soaked in water look like the ancient people's gun with an unfurled flag, so they are called flag spears; tea leaves with one bud and two young leaves look like a sparrow's tongue, so they are called sparrow tongue.Grain Rain Tea, nourished by rain and dew, is rich in nutrients and has a compelling aroma. It tastes mellow and smooth, and is especially good for the human body. It can clear the blockages in the whole body: tea drives away dampness, tea prevents disease, and tea nourishes vitality. It is said that drinking tea on the day of Grain Rain can clear internal heat, ward off evil spirits, and improve eyesight, so there is a custom of picking tea on the day of Grain Rain in the south. No matter what the weather is on the day of Grain Rain, people will go to the tea mountains to pick some new tea and drink it to pray for health. In people's traditional concept, Qingming tea (tea picked before Qingming Festival) is always considered better than Guyu tea. Yes, Qingming tea is delicate and of good quality, but after two or three brews, the taste becomes lighter. The tea picked before Grain Rain has a relaxed and full-bodied green tea, as fresh as if it were reborn on the branches, filling the eyes with spring light, and has a rich and mellow tea aroma, with a long aftertaste even after long brewing. Take a sip and you’ll instantly feel the fragrance spreading out, and all the worldly distractions and fame and fortune will disappear.
