What is dryness? The "Chinese Tea Dictionary" says: "The process of letting excess water vaporize, destroying enzyme activity, inhibiting enzymatic oxidation, promoting thermochemical reactions of the contents of tea, improving the aroma and taste of tea, and forming a shape. The beginning of tea The last process of making, after refining, also need to be dried. Drying temperature, amount of leaves, time, operation method are the technical indicators to ensure product quality.

After the white tea wither reaches the technological requirements, it enters the drying stage of the initial production process, that is, baking (drying).

How many ways are white tea drying?

The drying stage is roasting, and white tea drying methods include charcoal drying, electric roasting cage, and mechanical drying machine.

The drying process of white tea combines traditional and modern methods. The traditional method is roasting with charcoal fire, and the modern method uses a white dryer for drying.

Traditional drying process: roasting on charcoal fire. This method has been popular since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it has been passed down to the present and is widely used. The composition of the baking cage is made of bamboo strips. After charcoal roasting, the white tea has an obvious charcoal and fine aroma. The characteristics of the white tea aroma and taste made by this drying process are widely loved.

Regardless of the traditional drying method or the modern drying method, the ultimate goal is to promote the vaporization of the moisture of the tea, so as to meet the storage and drinking standards. .

The standard stipulates that the moisture content of white tea must be less than 8%, and the moisture content of white tea treated by the drying process is mostly controlled below 6%. For long-term storage, the moisture content of tea should be around 5%-6%.
