manufacturing process
1. Kneading: spread the water-retaining leaves and knead them.

Turn it at the right time, turn it as little as possible and turn it gently, so as not to break the tea and affect the quality.
5. Picking and cutting powder: Pick out the yellow tablets and impurities, cut off the tea powder, and then package it for sale or storage.

Production process:
(1) water fixation: water fixation plays a decisive role in tea quality. Through high temperature, the characteristics of enzymes in fresh leaves are destroyed, the oxidation of polyphenols is stopped, and the leaves are prevented from turning red; At the same time, some water in the leaves is evaporated, which makes the leaves soft and creates conditions for kneading and shaping. With the evaporation of water, the low-boiling aromatic substances in fresh leaves evaporate and disappear, thus improving the aroma of tea.
(2) Kneading: Kneading is a process of shaping the shape of green tea. Using external force, the leaves are crushed and lightened, rolled into strips, reduced in size and convenient for brewing. At the same time, some tea juice overflows and adheres to the surface of leaves, which also plays an important role in improving the taste concentration of tea. The rolling process of making green tea can be divided into cold rolling and hot rolling. The so-called cold kneading is to spread the green leaves and roll them up; Hot rolling is to roll the leaves while they are still hot, and don't scatter them.
(3) Drying: The purpose of drying is to evaporate water, tidy up appearance and give full play to tea fragrance. There are three drying methods: sun drying, frying and drying. In the process of drying, it is usually dried first and then fried. Because the water content of the twisted tea leaves is still very high, if fried directly, lumps will quickly form in the pot of the frying machine, and the tea juice will easily stick to the pot wall.
