Specific Steps Furn-Store Follows to Ensure High Quality of Teas During Traditional Processing

Ensuring High Quality of Teas Through Traditional Processing

Step 1: Hand-Picking the Finest Leaves

• Skilled Harvesting: Skilled tea pickers carefully select the tender buds and top leaves, which contain the highest concentration of flavor compounds.  This meticulous process ensures that only the best leaves are used.   Learn more about hand-picking techniques.
• Timing: The timing of the harvest is crucial, as the quality of the leaves can vary depending on the season and weather conditions.  Tea is often harvested in the early morning when the leaves are at their freshest.   Discover the importance of harvest timing.

Step 2: Withering to Prepare the Leaves

• Natural Withering: In traditional tea processing, leaves are spread out on bamboo trays and left to wither naturally in the open air.  This gentle process allows the leaves to lose moisture while retaining their essential oils.   Learn about the natural withering process.
• Controlled Withering: The withering process is carefully monitored to ensure that the leaves do not become too dry or retain too much moisture.  Proper withering is essential for developing the tea's flavor and aroma.   Discover the importance of controlled withering.

Step 3: Rolling to Develop Flavor and Aroma

• Hand-Rolling: In traditional methods, the leaves are hand-rolled to gently bruise them and release their natural juices.  This process enhances the tea's flavor and aroma.   Explore the hand-rolling technique.
• Uniform Rolling: The leaves are rolled into uniform shapes, such as pearls or spirals, which helps ensure even oxidation and consistent flavor.  Uniform rolling is a sign of high-quality tea craftsmanship.   Learn about the importance of uniform rolling.

Step 4: Controlled Oxidation for Perfect Balance

• Controlled Oxidation: The level of oxidation is carefully controlled to achieve the desired flavor profile.  For example, black teas are fully oxidized, while green teas undergo minimal oxidation.   Learn about controlled oxidation.
• Monitoring: Experienced tea makers monitor the oxidation process closely, adjusting the time and conditions as needed.  Proper oxidation is essential for developing the tea's rich and complex flavors.   Discover the importance of monitoring oxidation.

Step 5: Firing to Lock in the Flavor

• Pan-Firing: In traditional methods, the leaves are often dried by pan-firing, where they are heated in large woks.  This process helps retain the tea's natural flavors and aromas.   Learn about pan-firing techniques.
• Final Drying: The leaves are dried to the desired moisture content, ensuring they are stable and ready for storage.  Proper drying is essential for maintaining the tea's freshness and quality.   Discover more about the final drying process.
