① Shading treatment (reducing bitterness and increasing tea fragrance) is needed when planting, which can increase the content of chlorophyll and amino acids;

(2) After picking, the tea farmers steam-deactivate the tea (keep the tea green and bright);

(3) Low-temperature stone mill (rich in fragrance, more delicate and smooth).
