Production of Tie Guan Yin
For the production of Tieguanyin, mature leaves are harvested, which are rich in essential oils and trace elements. Tieguanyin has an average degree of fermentation, only the edge of the leaf undergoes fermentation. The collected sheet is laid out in the sun, after the appearance of signs of oxidation, that is, the red edge, they proceed to the next stage – drying. Drying takes place in a centrifuge and stops the fermentation process. Next, the leaves are cleaned of unnecessary particles – twigs, buds and pressed into bags. The final stage is drying, roasting and packaging. Tieguanyin is packed in vacuum bags, in the same bags it goes on sale. Te guan yin is better to buy in original vacuum bags, which preserve the integrity of the leaves, the originality of the packaging and guarantee the quality.
