Pearl Orchid Tea Production Process
Zhulan flower tea uses Zhulan flower and Milan flower as raw materials. Although the two have the same flower shape, their fragrance is different. The flowering period is from April to July. Generally, they are picked in summer. Only the flowers in the morning are picked, and no flowers are picked after noon. The flowers of Zhulan flower are close to the branches and are very small, like millet grains. Therefore, when picking, the flower stems and flowers are pruned together. It includes two processes: tea base processing and flower scenting. The quality of the tea base raw materials determines the grade of the scented tea, so the tea base raw materials of the special grade scented tea are generally selected from high-end famous teas. The flower scenting process generally goes through the processes of fresh flower maintenance, flower scenting, flower heat dissipation, flower re-firing, and uniform stacking and boxing, and finally forms the finished scented tea. It should be noted that Zhulan flower should not be scented multiple times, otherwise it will affect the freshness of the scented tea. Generally, the amount of flowers invested is about 5 to 6%, and the method of one scenting and one lifting is adopted.
