If you want to purchase high-quality and cost-effective spring tea with guaranteed quality, it's advisable to time your purchase wisely
Late March to Mid-April: Spring tea from low-altitude production areas is in concentrated harvest, perfect for fresh tasting.

Late April to May: High-quality ancient tree spring tea cakes (processed through complete steps such as sun-drying, compression, and drying) hit the market in bulk, marking the optimal window for bulk purchases.
When acquired and stored for transformation: Raw Pu'er tea requires aging time, and storing it for several years yields equally excellent results.

There is no need to blindly believe in the notions of "expensive" or "early" when it comes to Pu'er spring tea. What suits you best is what truly matters.
If you're a beginner, start with budget-friendly spring teas from well-known brands or affordable high-quality teas from lesser-known regions. With more experience, your palate will naturally recognize the "essence of spring," helping you select a tea that truly delights you.
