1. The life of tea tree can be divided into four stages: seedling stage, juvenile stage, adult stage and senescence stage. The seedling stage is the beginning of the life of tea trees, which lasts for about eight or nine months from seed maturity, sowing and germination to the first stop of plants on the ground. The young age is about four or five years, which is an important period for cultivating tea trees and crowns. Generally, it takes two or three times of shaping and pruning to form an arc or plane picking surface. In the last year or two of infancy, you can generally take the way of topping and picking, and start picking tea to get income. Adult period is a period of vigorous vegetative growth and reproductive growth of tea trees. In the case of good nutritional status, it generally lasts for about 20 years, which is the period when tea trees exert the greatest economic benefits. Tea trees in the aging stage are picked many times to form twigs at the top. Chicken feet? The germination ability is weakened, the bud leaves become thinner and the yield is obviously reduced.

Two, three reasonable tea picking requirements 1, according to the standard

That is to say, according to the grade of tea, picking is carried out in strict accordance with the standards of tender picking, moderate picking, mature picking, exposed picking and cutting picking, so that tea trees can continue to maintain high yield and high quality benefits;

2, timely batch mining

For the tea that has reached the picking standard, it is necessary to pick it in batches in time so that the next round of tea has enough time to germinate and develop;

3. Leave leaves for harvesting

To put it bluntly? Don't pick, leave some new leaves for tea trees, so that the next round of bud leaves can continue to increase production? . The most common methods of leaf protection are batch leaf protection and centralized leaf protection. Leave leaves in batches: that is, leave fish leaves to two leaves in each batch of tea. This method is mostly used for dental crown culture of 5-6 years old in early adulthood and 1-2 years after renewal. Centralized leaf retention: refers to not picking for a period of time or a certain tea season. This method is common in tea trees with low management level or poor growth.

Iii. Manual tea picking and mechanical tea picking 1, manual tea picking

Hand-grabbed tea This is a traditional tea tree picking method. When picking tea, pick it with the handle, separate it, and avoid taking it all at once. The biggest advantage of this method is that the standard is unified and easy to master. The disadvantage is that it is labor-intensive and expensive, and it is difficult to pick it in time. However, at present, due to the high requirements of picking standards, it is still impossible to pick tea mechanically, and tea is still picked by hand.

2, mechanical tea picking

Mechanical tea picking, mostly using double lifting reciprocating cutting tea picking machine for tea picking. If the operation is skilled and the management is proper, mechanical tea picking will not have much influence on the growth and development of tea trees, the yield and quality of tea, and it can reduce labor and production costs.

The picking quality of spring tea will be effectively controlled at the source, laying the foundation for a good cup of tea. Spring breeze gives bud life, sunshine gives bud warmth, and rain gives bud growth. Tea pickers make bud a fragrant leaf in our cup, and let us not forget their craftsman's heart when the tea is slightly drunk. Make a good cup of tea patiently, drink a good cup of tea with your heart and enjoy a good cup of tea with your heart!
