How to make black tea, and what stages it passes in the production process? In the manufacture of black tea the tea leaves undergoes the following processing stages: withering, rolling, fermentation and heat treatment.
Useful advice
The leaves are turned over manually. The most expensive tea — white. It is made from tips (unblown tea buds and young leaves, past the minimum number of processing stages in the production process, usually only withering and drying. Fermentation can last from 45 minutes to several hours. Many of the machines that are left from the British, they are more than 100 years. Then the tea is dried at a temperature of 90-95 °C for black tea and 105 °C for green tea.
