How to treat the traditional craft of stepping on tea?

I can accept that tea farmers say that stepping on tea is a traditional craft. Although this processing method is special or unsanitary in modern times, it is a very important traditional craft from the perspective of history and culture.

First of all, the traditional tea stamping process has existed for hundreds of years, and the taste and quality of tea made in this way have also been widely recognized. Local residents cherish this traditional craft very much and regard it as a cultural symbol of their region. Therefore, if this traditional craft has no obvious disadvantages and is generally supported by local residents, then I think this traditional craft should be respected and protected.

Secondly, we need to realize that different regions have different environmental and cultural backgrounds, so the handling methods will be different. Stepping on tea leaves may be more suitable in some places, but it may be considered unsanitary or outdated in other places. Therefore, when discussing whether to accept this traditional process, it is necessary to analyze and judge according to the specific situation.

Finally, we can combine modern technology with traditional technology for processing. Combining traditional technology with modern technology can improve the hygienic standard and production efficiency of tea while maintaining the traditional flavor.

In a word, I think we should respect and protect the traditional craft of stepping on tea from the perspective of history and culture. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the health and safety of tea, we can also explore the use of new scientific and technological means for processing.
