2. the wrench

Fresh leaves must be picked in time. It is divided into three types: tender leaves (or small pieces), old pieces (or large pieces) and tea stems (or pin handles).

3.raw pot and cooked pot

The wok has a diameter of about 70 cm and is inclined at 30 degrees. The two pots are adjacent to each other and cooked once in a lifetime. The temperature of the raw pot is about 100°C, and the cooked pot is slightly lower. Throw 100 grams of leaves, reduce tender slices, and increase old leaves slightly. After the fresh leaves are put in the pot, stir-fry them with a bamboo silk broom or a knotted broom for 1-2 minutes, which is mainly used to kill the green leaves. When the leaves become soft, sweep the raw pot leaves into the cooked pot, arrange the strips, fry while patting, so that the leaves gradually become flaky. The amount of force depends on the tenderness of the fresh leaves. , The broomstick relaxes to preserve color and shape. When sautéing old leaves, the handles of the broom should be tightened and patted into slices. Stir-fry until the leaves are basically shaped and the water content is about 30%, it will be out of the pot and immediately put on the kang.

After picking out the yellow pieces, floating leaves, red tendons, and old leaves, mix the young leaves and old pieces evenly.

5. small fire

It should be carried out one day after the fire at the latest, and each cage should throw 2.5~3 kg of leaves. The fire temperature should not be too high, and it can be baked until it is close to dryness.

6.old fire(last baking )

Also called Laohuo, it is the last baking, which has a great influence on the formation of special color, aroma, taste and shape. The old fire requires high fire temperature, and the fire is fierce. The charcoal kiln is lined up and squeezed tightly, and the fire is soaring to the sky. Three to 4 kilograms of leaves are thrown in each cage. Two people lift the drying cage and bake it on charcoal fire for 2 to 3 seconds. In order to make full use of the charcoal fire, 2 to 3 drying cages can be baked on top in turn. Bake it straight until the leaves are green with frost. Put it into an iron cylinder while it is hot, step on it in layers, and seal it with solder for storage.
