Production Process
● Harvesting:Exclusively uses single buds from high-mountain small-leaf tea varieties.
● Follows the principle: "Early start, precise mid-season timing, no late coarse leaves."
● Withering:Conducted via sunlight withering or indoor withering to reduce moisture.
● Kill-Green Fixation:High-temperature treatment to halt fermentation and soften leaves for rolling.
● Rolling:5–8 minutes of rolling to shape leaves, rupture cells, and release juices.
● Sorting:Mechanical + manual sorting to remove stems, coarse leaves, and impurities ("Three Cleans, One Purity").
Shaking & Fermentation
Leaves are shaken 4–5 times over 8–10 hours to create "green leaves with red edges."
