Green Tea China |
|

In China, small farmers still make batches of tea by hand. Once picked the leaves are carried immediately to the factory where they are withered slowly to reduce the water content. Then they are dried and pan-fried to remove more water. Inbetween the leaves are shaped by rolling or twisting, depending on the final appearance required. In China, leaf shapes vary from thin, crinkly, to flat, needle like, twisted or curled. |
