How To Deal Fresh Tea Leaves On Rainy Day?

2022-04-22 13:48:19

The birth of a good cup of tea starts with picking.

As the saying goes, "the day of March, the face of a child",

The spring tea picking season is often rainy, which brings inconvenience to the spring tea picking.

In the slanting wind and drizzle, many tea farmers are still working hard in the tea garden.

How to deal with these picked fresh tea leaves? 

As we all know, tea leaf picking is a technical job, and skills, concentration and patience are indispensable. Rainy days will undoubtedly make the originally steep mountain road more slippery and the soil of the tea garden more muddy. In addition to maintaining concentration, tea pickers need to pay attention to the safety of their feet, which brings difficulties and inconvenience to fresh leaf picking. 

The fresh leaves picked in rainy days are called "Rainwater leaf", and the increase in the water content of fresh leaves has virtually increased the workload of tea pickers to transport tea leaves. In addition, the high moisture content of rainwater leaves will increase the difficulty of subsequent frying. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to pick rain fresh tea leaves.

Although the rainwater leaf is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the quality of the finished tea is not stable, but the spring tea grows the different day by day. If it is not picked in time, once the optimal picking period has passed, it will not only affect the production of tea, but also will not be able to sell the good price. In terms of production, the losses are even greater. For rainwater leaves that have been picked, generally, the moisture in the tea can be reduced by extending the time of spreading fresh tea leaf. The excess water on the surface of the fresh tea can be evaporated naturally by spreading it out, but it is necessary to spread the fresh tea thinly, so that the rainwater fresh tea leaf can be dehumidified evenly, so as to avoid the tea leaves from sticking and the temperature being too high to produce a stuffy smell.
