Gold Medal Huiming Tea Production Process
Generally, picking begins around the spring equinox, and the requirements are “one tender, two uniform, and three fresh”. “One tender” means that the picking standard is mainly one bud and one leaf; “two uniform” means that the size and length are basically the same; “three fresh” means that the tea basket is clean and breathable, and the buds and leaves are gently placed in the basket without strong pressure. It is forbidden to pick rainwater leaves and dew leaves. The leaves are picked on the same day and the production is completed on the same day. After the fresh leaves are picked, they are processed through the processes of spreading, killing, rolling, straightening, lifting and shaping, spreading and cooling, and frying. In the process of manual frying, the temperature of the pot is gradually lowered after the tea leaves are killed, and the tea leaves are kneaded and tossed in the pot. When the tea leaves begin to bend, a combination of rolling and tossing is used to shape them. In order to improve efficiency, mechanical tea making has begun to be used.
