The application of soymilk liquid organic fertilizer

    From Taiwan's Soya-bean milk irrigating technology, use Non-GMO soybean with biological probiotics and brown sugar to ferment into liquid organic fertilizer.
1. Provide organic nutrition
    The biological probiotics in Soya-bean milk can decompose into plant protein amino acids and absorbed by tea bushes.

2. Provide microorganisms good for soil
    Biological probiotics also can promote the decomposition of organic fertilizer in soil and make it absorbed by 
tea bushes.

3. Provide organic nutrition
    The biological probiotics in the soybean milk can act as a natural pesticide and kill the bad bacteria.

4. Improving the quality of tea
    After irrigated by soya-bean milk, improve the tenderness of tea, the harvestable period can be extended to be 10 days from 6-7 days before, and the tea quality, taste, and aroma are all improved significantly. After made into soybean milk, the remaining yellow bean dregs can also make full use of. With bagasse, rice husks, rabbit dung and sheep dung, after fermentation, bury it into the ditch every winter, it would be a good organic fertilizer and nutrition for tea bushes.

How oolong tea is made?

  • 1.日光萎凋 Solar withering 
    Exposing harvested tea leaves to the sunshine accelerates the evaporation of moisture, and acts as a catalyst for oxidation by naturally occurring enzymes in the tea plant.
  • 2. 室内萎凋及搅拌 Indoor oxidation and shaking
    The leaves are spread on automatic withering racks and shaken up intermittently for uniform exposure and to further deplete moisture during the indoor withering stage, which lasts for 6 to 12 hours. During this step, complex and subtle changes in the natural chemical composition of the leaves create the characteristic aroma and flavor of Oolong Tea.

  • 3.杀菁 Tumble-heating
    High temperatures are used to halt enzyme activity, including oxidation and biochemical reactions. This step stabilizes the composition of the tea(in terms of aroma and taste, etc.). During tumble-heating, much of the moisture is lost from the tea leaves, and their supple nature becomes evident as they enter the next step in their processing--rolling.

  • 4.揉捻 Primary rolling
     During the rolling process, friction causes the breakdown of the tea leaf structure, while ensuring that the consistency of the leaf remains intact. Mass rolling may be carried out twice to reduce the volume of the finished tea, making it easier to ship, store and enter the marketplace.

  • 5.热团揉 Hot mass rolling
     The leaves become very supple when exposed to high temperature. They are then placed inside a cloth bag, forming a large ball that is rolled by a special machine or by hand. Through such controls, moisture slowly dissipates from the leaves and they gradually become more tightly curled. This step produces the characteristic appearance and enhances the characteristic aroma of Oolong Tea.

  • 6.干燥 Advanced drying
    Hot air is used for drying, to halt any remaining enzyme activity after tumble-heating. This inhibits further oxidization and further stabilizes tea quality.

  • 8.再干与烘焙 Final drying and roasting
    Heat control is used during the roasting process to improve tea quality (aroma--to eliminate rogue odors and to add a roasted aroma; taste--to eliminate Maillard reaction, caramelisation, oxidative and shrinkage effects; tea color--retain clarity and prevent changes in color). Roasting stabilizes the aroma, smoothness, fragrant aftertaste and lingering aroma in the cup that is the renowned qualities of Oolong Tea.

In the modern can be used to shake the barrel to significantly improve efficiency
The process of fermentation has been to see the fermentation state
Once the red-green edge effect

Shake is to stop
And in order to prevent the fermentation from continuing
This step is called fried green
Roasted after the tea immediately stop fermentation
Into a relatively static state
Next we have to roll
The tea leaves are placed in a twisting machine
Twisted into a cord-like
In order to reduce the volume

After the completion of the tea to go through the machine after the first baking water
The initial drying made of Maocha
Will be Maocha points after bagging
A detailed manual selection is done by category

Black Tea Lapsang souchong introduce


    Lapsang souchong is a black tea (Camellia sinensis) originally from the Wuyi region of the Chinese province of Fujian.Lapsang is distinct from all other types of tea because lapsang leaves are traditionally smoke-dried over pinewood fires, taking on a distinctive smoky flavor.

      History

      According to some sources, Lapsang souchong is the first black tea in history, even earlier than Keemun tea. After the Lapsang souchong tea was used for producing black tea called Min Hong(meaning "Black tea produced in Fujian"), people started to move the tea bush to different places, such as Keemun, India, and Ceylon.

      The story goes that the tea was created during the Qing era when the passage of armies delayed the annual drying of the tea leaves in the Wuyi Mountain. Eager to satisfy demand, the tea producers sped up the drying process by getting their workers to dry the leaves over fires made from local pines.

        Processing

       "Souchong" refers to the fourth and fifth leaves of the tea plant, further away from the more highly prized bud (pekoe) of the tea plant. These leaves are coarser than the leaves closer to the bud and have fewer aromatic compounds. Smoking provides a way to create a marketable product from these less desirable leaves.

       The leaves are roasted in a bamboo basket called a Honglong, which is heated over burning firewood,  contributes to the dried longan aroma and smoky flavor. Pinewood is used as the firewood for Lapsang souchong and contains the characteristic resin aroma and taste.

      Chemistry

      The aroma of Lapsang souchong is derived from a variety of chemical compounds. The two most abundant constituents the aroma are longifolene and α-terpineol. Many of the compounds making up the aroma of Lapsang souchong, including longifolene, originate only in the pine smoke and are not found in both.

     Flavour and aroma

     Lapsang souchong's flavors include dried longan, pine smoke, and whiskey.Tea merchants marketing to Westerners notes that this variety of tea generally produces a strong reaction, with most online reviews extremely positive or strongly negative.[citation needed]Tea connoisseurs often note that Taiwanese Lapsang souchong typically has a stronger flavor and aroma, the most extreme being tarry souchong (smoked, as the name implies, over burning pine tar).[citation needed]It is common for even rather strongly brewed Lapsang souchong tea to lack the bitterness common with other tea varieties.

    Reputation

    Lapsang souchong has a high reputation outside China; it is viewed as "tea for Westerners" inside China. It was drunk by Winston Churchill.
