Black Tea Production Process

Selecting freshest tea leaves: Tea leaves are picked by hand to get the highest quality.

Withering: Freshly harvested tea leaves are withered under a fan cooling system to achieve the desired amount of moisture.

Rolling: Through the rolling process, the cell walls of tea leaves are broken, releasing their enzymes and other compounds.

Fermentation: Fermentation creates some chemical changes that make the color and taste of black tea.

Drying: The leaves are dried to stop the fermentation process and finish the tea for sale.

Sorting and classifying tea grades: Black tea is removed from impurities and classified into different grades.
