How Is Oolong Tea
Produced?
~Everything Regarding the
Two Production Methods Is Important.~ |

・Manual
production method supported by tradition and
craftsmanship (China) |
|
The production of
delicious oolong tea requires time-honored
tradition and outstanding craftsmanship. Tea
leaves are picked on the morning of a clear day.
They should be picked in units consisting of one
bud and three leaves and exposed to the sun.
This is the first stage. The second stage is to
dry them indoors to promote fermentation. The
most crucial part in the production of oolong
tea is when to stop fermentation. As oolong tea
is fermented to some extent, it is called
semi-fermented tea. Experience is required to
identify the best time to stop the fermentation,
which is when the leaves are 30% red and 70%
green. After this, they are rubbed repeatedly to
generate good flavor, aroma, and texture. Then
they are dried using charcoal. At the final
stage, a tea master grades the quality according
to the flavor and characteristics of each batch.
China's Fujian Chaye Jin Chukou Gongsi (Tea
Import and Export Corporation and Fujian Tea
Association) exports oolong tea to Japan. |
