Associated tea production
Flowering tea is made by experienced craftsmen by hand. In the production process, weakly fermented varieties of tea leaves are often used. They are not only the most useful, but also have the necessary elasticity, which allows them to be bent, giving the desired shape. The applied technology for the production of flowering (bound) tea depends on what kind of blossoming effect is needed. The compositions very often use not one flower, but several. The main steps in the production of tea are:
- eliminate greenery;
- twisting;
- drying.
The flower is one of the important elements of the bound tea. It is dehydrated by drying in the open air, or in chambers specially designed for this purpose.
After all the components are prepared, the manufacture of the bundle begins. A bunch of tea leaves is neatly tied at the bottom, a whole inflorescence is placed inside, all this is covered with tea leaves on top. The top is fastened with threads, and the bud with the bundle becomes complete. Often the weight of the resulting balls varies from 6 to 10 g. Also, the bundle can be in the form of an ellipse, or another shape (depending on the binding method, the number of buds inside the bundle).
