BLACK TEA

Withering Process
A type of tunnel, called a withering trough, is used to  wither the leaves. It has fans, which blow air in the trough, causing the leaves to wither. The tea leaves are turned over two or three times to  even up the withering process.

Rolling and Grinding Process
After withering, the leaves are rolled and ground to break their cells, so that the process of fermentation can be evenly carried out.

Drying Process
The drying process is carried out using an ECP drier (Endless Chain Pressure) and a Fluid bed drier. The Black Tea produced has a water content of 3 - 5%
