Process flow of rock tea making

The primary technology of rock tea combines the technology of green tea and black tea, and the production method is extremely fine. The basic production process includes: picking → withering → de-enzyming → de-enzyming → rolling → drying and other processes.

The picked tea leaves are put into baking cages, each cage is about 0.75 kg, and they are spread flat on a melting cage for baking. Generally, the fire temperature required for baking is about 100℃. After baking for 20 minutes, turn the tea for the second time. After baking for about 40 minutes, turn the tea for the third time. After turning the tea for three times, it melts for about half an hour, and the tea is twisted by hand to form the end, indicating that the tea is dry enough.

This is just a general requirement. In practice, it is necessary to master it flexibly with the help of the experience of the tea-frying teacher. Every time you turn the tea, you should dust the fire in the cave, that is, use a Xiao Mu cultivation knife to evenly dust the edge of the fire to balance the firepower and control the heat.
