Last Updated: 2025/08/21, Our common teas are white tea, green tea, black tea and oolong tea. The process of making tea is roughly the same. 1) Chuan Qing: the first step in the production of tea is to use the newly grown buds or noodle leaves on the tea tree as raw materials. (2) Sunlight withering: the green tea leaves are placed outdoors so that part of the moisture disappears naturally from the sun, and the gloss of the leaves disappears into wavy undulation, which is called the soft touch of the hand.

Our common teas are white tea, green tea, black tea and oolong tea. The process of making tea is roughly the same.

1) Chuan Qing: the first step in the production of tea is to use the newly grown buds or noodle leaves on the tea tree as raw materials.

(2) Sunlight withering: the green tea leaves are placed outdoors, so that part of the moisture naturally disappears from the sun, the leaf luster disappears into wavy undulation, and the hands feel soft, which is called "solar withering".

(3) Indoor withering: the withered tea green is put indoors to rest and stir each other, so that the leaf edge cells are damaged to facilitate fermentation and remove the bitter and smelly green taste of tea, which is called "indoor withering".

(4) fermentation: after the indoor withering is completed, let the tea green sit for several hours, contact with the air to play a role of slow oxidation, called "fermentation".

(5) killing green: when the tea green is fermented to the desired degree, put into the "green killing machine" to stop the tea green fermentation with high temperature, which is called "killing green". There are two ways to kill the green: fried green and steamed green. Green tea is directly withered (without wilting and fermentation). And black tea allows the green tea to continue to ferment (without killing the green).

(6) knead and twist: finish the killing, put it in the "kneading machine" and break the tea cells. It is gentle to pack and grow tea. Frozen top, high mountain tea and Tieguanyin are medium-soft and heavy-soft (cloth soft).

(7) drying: put the rolled tea green into the "dryer" to remove moisture for "drying". Dried unfinished tea, called "Mao tea" or "rough tea", can be sold to tea merchants at this time.

(8) roasting: after buying back "Mao tea", tea merchants still have to go through "roasting" treatment to bake the tea into light or ripe fragrance, but unfermented tea (such as green tea) does not need to be "roasted".

(9) finished product: finally, after the stem is pulled, the branch is inspected, and the tea is made, it can be packed and sold. After the tea is made, you can still smoke the flowers and put them on the ground. Wait.
