Processing technology of Pujiang finch tongue

The raw materials of Pujiang Quetong Pavilion have strict requirements, and the picking time must be spring tea buds from February to April every year; Tea varieties must be medium-lobulated tea trees; The picking standard must be single bud, which requires "not picking nine buds", that is, not picking thin buds, single buds, wind injuries, insect injuries, open buds, hollow buds, diseased buds and buds that are too long and too short in rainy days; Tea buds must be sent to the tea factory on the same day, and the storage and transportation process should be ventilated and ventilated, so as not to get hot.

The traditional method of making Pujiang queque tongue is hand-made, and the process is complicated. With the expansion of production scale, technological innovation and process optimization were carried out on the basis of inheriting the traditional process, and the mechanized processing of some processes was gradually explored, realizing the unique processing technology of combining mechanical processing with manual operation in key processes, greatly improving production efficiency and stabilizing quality. At the same time, the unique quality characteristics of Pujiang queque tongue are kept unchanged by inheriting the manual fragrance-extracting process and manual refining process.
