The early batch of spring green tea is considered the best and most expensive kind, given its special fragrance and taste. It is usually picked before Tomb Sweeping Festival, which falls from April 4 to 6. In ancient China, there was a saying that spring tea was as valuable as gold, and this tradition has remained unchanged. [Photo/IC]
