Picking: Pick one bud and two leaves by hand.

Withering: Cool in a ventilated and dry place without direct sunlight with 30% moisture, and place it above the bamboo pallets. The time depends on the moisture content of fresh leaves and the temperature and humidity at that time.


 

Tea Fixation: Remove the smell of grass, evaporate part of the water, and facilitate rolling and shaping after frying.


 

Kneading: There are machine kneading and manual kneading. The tea cell wall is broken, so that the tea juice is easily soluble in the tea soup during brewing, and the extraction rate is improved. Make tea into sticks.


 

Sun-drying: The rolled tea leaves are naturally dried in the sun to retain the organic and active substances in the tea leaves to the greatest extent. It is easy to retain the essential original flavor of tea leaves after drying.

Tea cake/brick Shaping: Steam the dried tea leaves with steam and press them into different molds. Extract the aroma and make the pectin in the tea overflow the epidermis, which is conducive to pressing and molding and has a unique aroma different from loose tea.


 

Drying: Control the water content below the water content that can be safely stored. Generally, the water content of Pu'er tea is required to be below 10%.
