TEA PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Now, let us have a look at the general tea processing techniques:
- Plucking:
Generally, twice a month, the tea leaves and flushes that includes a terminal bud and two young leaves, are picked from the Camellia sinensis plant. For a higher quality tea, the picking of the tea leaves and young buds is generally done by hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Withering or Wilting:
Once the tea leaves are picked, they soon begin to wilt. To avoid this, the technique of withering is used to remove excess water and only allow a very slight amount of oxidation. Leaves tend to lose over a quarter of their weight. It promotes the breakdown of proteins into free amino acids.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Disruption:
Also known as maceration. Leaves are bruised or torn, often by machinery, to quicken oxidation and release juices, which changes the tea’s taste.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rolling:
The damp leaves are rolled into wrinkled strips. This helps sap and oils ooze out, enhancing flavor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Drying:
Final drying by machine to prepare the tea for packaging and sale.
