How tea is made

The first thing to do is pick the best leaves that they can find and then all of the workers have to go back to the factory, and spread out the leaves that they have picked on to the withering trays and spread them all out, and leave them on the withering trays and they get weaker by the air so it is weak and it’s easy to roll.

After they finished spreading tea out on the withering trays the leave’s are now ready for rolling so they put it in this rolling machine, and starts to roll [but they don’t only use rolling machine the people also uses hands] and the machine can make different types of shapes of tea and different types of kind of tea.

Lets see how tea is

made

When they have finished rolling the leaves the workers have to spread out the broken leaves on the oxidation table, so the leaves have some time to get all of the oil out of the leaves and all of the leaves has, a period of time to be out on the oxidation table.

It is now time for heat the tea up but teas need different type of high temperatures, like the oolong tea needs a really high temperatures but Chinese tea for an example needs the right temperature. The final thing they have to do before they sorting it is drying it and needs lots of hot air. Now it is time to sort out the tea bag’s and the workers have pack the in the bag’s.

Amazing what they can do
