During the picking process, the most important point is that the fresh leaves must have been bitten by the green leafhopper. The green leafhopper is very small and only sucks the moisture and nutrients of the tea leaves. At the same time, the secondary metabolites that cause the tea tree’s own stress response can be converted into special substances with honey fragrance, which greatly increases the value of the tea. It is made through several processes such as withering, spreading, frying, rolling, drying, and packaging.
