Essential oil production process
The production process of essential oil is as follows:

1, the best time to pick flowers is when they are in full bloom, when the flower has a high content of essential oil and a particularly strong aroma.

An experienced flower picker can collect three bags of roses every morning, and each bag can hold 5000 roses. The picking work lasted for nearly 25 days.

3. After picking, pull the cart and put on the lucky red rope. The cavalry crossed the flower field and carried the roses to the weighing station. Flower pickers, transporters, flower field leaders and distillers meet here.

4. In the process of transporting the flowers to the factory, seal the bags to avoid the loss of nutrients.

5. Roses will arrive at Rose Industrial Factory, and will be sent to distillation bottles in batches to extract rose products such as essential oil.

Generally, each distiller can hold 30 bags of roses, and large factories will handle more than 50 tons of roses every day.

7. The distiller in the factory is made of copper and the extractor is made of stainless steel. The workers distilled roses.

8. Two hours after the rose enters the distiller, the essential oil is separated from the flower. This is the first step of the whole distillation extraction process, which will be completed in a secret laboratory.

9. Each large glass bottle contains the essence of five or six million roses.

10. After extracting essential oil from distillate, the remaining colorless distilled water is pure rose dew. At first, pure rose dew was a by-product of distillation of rose essential oil, but now many places specialize in making pure rose dew instead of producing essential oil because of technical problems.
