At the end of winter and early spring, the tea hill takes on a beautiful “new coat,” the tea leaves are greener and fresher. Specifically, the best time to make a journey to explore this beautiful land is around December to January. In the winter, O Long Tea Hill is as beautiful as a painting. Fresh tea buds form a layer like a smooth carpet spreading across the mountains. When spring comes, the cherry blossoms bloom with a warm pink color.
