BEIJING, March 29, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Traditionally, Chinese value tea made from the very first tea sprouts in spring that should be picked up before Qingming Festival, which falls on April 5 this year. After a long winter's rest, the new shoots at this time are fine and tender with pleasant aroma, producing high-quality tea of the year.
