Default A question about classification and desireability of early greens

So I do see that there are some early spring greens coming out already in a
couple of places (Yunnan Sourcing for one)...since I am unfamiliar with the
rainy season in China, could someone tell me...are these teas considered
pre-pre-qing ming? Or...how are they thought of? The time where there isn't
any tea being made anywhere in India or China seems to be very short to me
these days.

In relation to that, I am guessing the tea bushes go dormant for a few
months, when they start to bud again is it the very first leaves they put
out that are considered so wonderful? Is there such a thing as being too
early of a green tea?
