The standard for picking fresh leaves of Chun mee green tea is one bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves. The ones with strong buds, leaves and dense pekoe are selected and refined through six processes including spreading, fixing, kneading, baking, pan-frying and re-baking.

1. Spreading: The harvested buds and leaves must be carefully sorted to remove unqualified leaves, impurities and other materials. Leave it for 1-2 hours until the surface water evaporates.

2. Greening: It requires high-temperature greening, evenly and thoroughly, the green air disappears, and the aroma is revealed, then it can be considered as the appropriate greening. The moisture content of dried green leaves is controlled at around 60%.

(1) When using the 6SST-30/40 continuous roller finishing machine, each time before using the finishing machine, the drum must be preheated for a long time to ensure that it absorbs sufficient heat source. Avoid sticking leaves to the cylinder wall and the tail of the cylinder every time you throw leaves. The drum must be started during preheating to prevent the cylinder from being heated and deformed.

(2)When the drum reaches the greening temperature, that is, when the air temperature in the drum reaches about 110°C-120°C, fresh leaves can be put in.

(3)Determination of greening time: Put fresh leaves or similar substances into the drum from the feed tray, and measure the time for discharge from the drum. The length of the greening time can be adjusted by changing the inclination of the drum through the handwheel screw mechanism at the front of the frame. The greening time is determined according to the tenderness and moisture content of the fresh leaves, and is subject to moderate greening. It is 2 minutes greening for normal spring tea.

(4) After each batch of fresh leaves is thrown in, about half of the curing time should be stepped out of the leaf end frame, and the drum should be tilted sharply to quickly discharge the cured leaves to prevent scorched leaves and bursting spots.

3. Kneading: It is required that the degree of tissue fragmentation of the kneading leaves is 45 to 55%, which is moderate. Tender leaves should be kneaded lightly, old leaves should be kneaded heavily, tender leaves should be kneaded coldly, and old leaves should be kneaded hot. Keep the temperature of the pot at about 70°C. Use a single kneading technique to push and knead the tea leaves from left to right into strips. Push and knead with gravity to achieve the purpose of sufficient cell disruption. When it reaches 50% dryness, it is done.

4. Baking: Carry out three times, the first time only until it is 50% dry and let it sit for 1 to 2 hours. Bake at a lower temperature for the second time until it is 70% to 80% dry, and leave it for 6 to 12 hours. Bake at low temperature for the third time until completely dry.

5. Pan-frying: The method is to add about 1 kilogram of leaves to each pot when the pot temperature is about 90°C. With four fingers together, palms open, thumb facing up and little finger pointing toward the pot, use your wrist and arm strength to slowly push the tea leaves from the bottom of the pot to the edge of the pot. When the tea leaves fall freely from above, hold the tea in both hands and gently twist it to shake off the agglomerates, repeating the process over and over again. When the tea leaves are 60% dry, the pekoe will be exposed in the pot, and then dried in a baking cage over a slow fire.

6.Re-baking.
