The purpose of this study is to consider the effect of skiffing time on tea leaf yields and quality in the first leave production. New tea leaves can be yielded ealier 6 or 7 day by skiffing at late September instead of late October. Cold damage (freezing damage) was tendency to increase by late skiffing time especially middle November damage rate increasedly to increase up to 25% by at late September than by at late October which was usual skiffing time in Korea. The contents of total nitrogen did not show a variation by skiffing time but that of tanning represent the higher by the more late of skiffing time. The reasonable skiffing time of tea plant was supposed that the late September which reache at average temperature 18~20˚C in Korea.
