The main aspects of green tea production include plucking, withering, kneading, greening, drying, sieving and other steps.
1. Picking: During the process of picking green tea, tea growers need to carefully select the young leaves and avoid collecting tea leaves that are too old or too ripe to ensure the quality of green tea.
2. Withering: In the withering process, the tea leaves need to lose water gradually in the natural environment, which can make the tea leaves become soft and reduce the astringent components, so as to prepare for the subsequent kneading and greening.
3, kneading: kneading is a key step in the production of green tea, the tea leaves need to be kneaded into strips, which can further destroy the cellular structure, promote the overflow of tea juice, and prepare for the subsequent greening.
4, kill the green: kill the green link is a very important step in the green tea production process, the tea leaves need to be inactivated by the high temperature of the enzyme, which can prevent the formation of theaflavin, to maintain the green tea's bright green color and aroma.
5, drying and sieving: in the drying and sieving process, the tea leaves need to be dried to reduce its moisture content to about 3-6%, and then sieved and other processing, and finally get the finished green tea to ensure the quality and taste of green tea. At the same time, in this process, attention needs to be paid to hygiene and environmental protection issues, in order to protect the quality of tea and the health of consumers.
Notes on the production of green tea:
1, material selection: the quality of green tea depends on the varieties and quality of tea, so before the production of green tea, you need to carefully select the tea material to ensure good quality.
2, environmental conditions: the production of green tea needs to be carried out in suitable environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions need to meet certain standards in order to ensure the quality and taste of green tea.
3, processing: the processing of green tea is very important, each step needs to master the time and method. Special attention should be paid to the greening and kneading links, too long or too short will affect the quality and taste of green tea.
4, health and safety: the production of green tea involves the operation of personnel and food processing, so we need to pay attention to health and safety issues, to ensure that the health of the tea and consumer health.
5, packaging and preservation: green tea production is completed, the need for packaging and preservation processing to extend the shelf life of green tea. In the packaging process, it is necessary to choose suitable packaging materials and packaging methods, while ensuring that there is no odor and sterility.
