The specific steps of osmanthus tea practice are as follows:\x0d\1, raw materials ratio: generally 50 kilograms of refined tea embryo with 15 kilograms of fresh osmanthus, depending on the grade of the tea appropriately increased or decreased. \x0d\2, tea embryo preparation: choose 1 bud 2 leaves of fresh tea leaves as raw materials, using the "high temperature brake green, fast kneading, safe drying" new technology of tea made of green tea embryo. Requirements for tea embryo leaves tender, tightly knotted, fragrant odor, water content of 5% or less, to be cooled to 26-30 ℃ when you can manhole. You can also take the refined green tea finished products, baking and heating to 30 ℃ when celling. \x0d\3, osmanthus harvesting: osmanthus tea practice in the osmanthus blooming period, in the flowers into a tiger claw-shaped, golden-yellow, budding first picking, to do light picking, loose release, fast transportation, absolutely not to use a bamboo pole to beat, so as not to flowers broken and red.
