tea making process

The first step in making tea is picking tea

Use the elasticity of your fingers to gently pluck the two leaves of the season's most mature leaves.

The second step of making tea is sun withering

The heat of the sun accelerates the evaporation of water in the tea, reduces the water content, and allows the components in the cells to ferment.

The third step of making tea: indoor withering and big waves

The tea leaves are turned over with the strength of both hands to make the tea leaves "water" evenly, and then placed quietly indoors to allow the tea leaves to undergo partial fermentation, triggering complex fermentation changes.

The fourth step of making tea is completed

Use high temperature to break the fermentation activity and stop the continuous fermentation reaction of tea leaves, stabilizing the quality of tea leaves. When frying green tea, a large amount of water will be released, making the tea leaves soft.

The fifth step of making tea is kneading

By kneading, squeezing and rubbing, the tissue of the tea leaves is broken, leaving the essence of the tea juice in the tea leaves.

The sixth step of making tea is initial drying

The drying mechanism after kneading is used to evaporate the water on the surface of the tea leaves, making them soft, elastic and non-sticky. Process until late at night, let the tea leaves sit for five hours, and then knead them.

The seventh step of making tea: kneading

Heat the newly dried tea leaves to soften them, knead them with a kneading machine using a ball, and repeat fifty to sixty times to slowly form a round shape into the tea leaves, and then dry them at high temperature. After the steps are completed, the finished product is called oolong tea.
