What should you pay attention to when picking tea?

1. Choose the right weather: It is advisable to pick tea on a sunny day with no wind or a gentle breeze. Tea picking should be avoided on rainy days.

2. Choose the right time: Generally, tea picking time is from early morning to noon. At this time, the new leaves have sufficient moisture and the quality of the tea is better.

3. Use the correct picking tools: When picking tea, you should use special tea shears to ensure that the fresh tea leaves on the tea tree can be cut cleanly.

4. Pay attention to the picked tea leaves: When picking, the leaves to be picked should be selected according to the growth status of the tea tree and the tea variety. Generally, it is better to pick young leaves and buds.

5. Preliminary processing: The picked tea leaves must be processed as soon as possible. The tea leaves must be drained before processing to avoid affecting subsequent processing.

6. Pay attention to hygiene: Before picking and processing tea, keep it as clean as possible, use clean water and tools, and wear neat work clothes.

7. Keep it fresh: The picked tea leaves should be processed and stored as soon as possible to prevent the tea leaves from deteriorating and affecting the taste and quality.
