Default Spring Teas Early

Spring bud is often referred to as pre Qing Ming (April) and normally
is picked in March. I'm trying to remember if any recognized bud is
traditionally picked in February.

I always believed it was more of a tradition thing, where everyone
knows the tea is not the greatest but it is a tradition of being
"first" to market from back in the days of the ships carrying the tea
and the "race" to be first.
