According to the quality, Lu 'an melon chips are divided into four grades: business cards and first, second and third grades. The finished product is very different from other green teas. The leaf edge is folded back, melon-shaped, naturally unfolded, bright green in color and uniform in size.

The unique technology of Lu 'an melon chips has long been popular with traditional hand-made methods. Production technology, quality and flavor have obvious regional characteristics. This unique processing technology has formed the unique style of Luan melon chips. The first process of Luan melon chips is picking. The standard is to pick two leaves from one bud, but three or four leaves from one bud are missing. The second process is picking, which separates fresh tea leaves from tea stems. When picking, you should pick the first, third and fourth leaves and tea buds on the broken tip one by one, and fry them as you pick them. The first leaf line is "Ju", the second leaf line is "Guapian", the third or fourth leaf line is "Mei Pian" and the bud line is "Yinzhen". The technical key of the third process is frying leaves. After the fried slices are taken out of the pan and dried, the amount of dried leaves is only 2-3 Liang each time. First reduce the fire, then reduce the fire until the leaves are hoary, the color is green and uniform, and the tea fragrance is fully exerted, then put them into containers and seal them. This kind of tea can not only relieve summer heat and thirst, but also has a strong digestive and therapeutic effect.
