How to make Eucommia ulmoides tea?

Preparation method of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. Black tea includes the following steps: withering, rolling, rolling, cutting, fermentation and drying.

Withering: the water content of Eucommia ulmoides leaves is 70-80%, and the water content of mature leaves is 75%. The degree of withering should be light, so as to make more "pieces of tea"; "Withering is heavy" and "there is more tea at the end". In the process of withering and spreading, the leaf pile should avoid being heated to prevent rot.

Kneading: Knead for 20 minutes with a general traditional kneading machine, so that the leaves are broken, but because of the filamentous connection of Eucommia ulmoides gum, they are often in a string shape.

Kneading and cutting: Chop with a rotor machine in the same way as kneading and cutting to make red broken tea.

Fermentation: The fermentation process of Eucommia ulmoides leaves is very slow, and the fermentation time takes 68 hours. The color of leaves changed from dark green to pig liver color, and the aroma changed from grassy to "black tea" fermented leaves with the aroma of mature apples.

Drying: similar to tea drying.

According to the production method of green tea, it is only necessary to change the withering process into enzyme fixation, and then omit the fermentation process, in which the rolling, rolling, shredding and drying are the same as the production method of black tea.
