The Process of Making Spearmint Green Tea
The production of spearmint green tea involves several steps, from plucking the tea leaves to packaging the final product. The process includes:
1. Plucking
The first step in making spearmint green tea is plucking the tea leaves and spearmint leaves. The leaves are picked by hand, and only the tender and young leaves are selected for tea production. The leaves are carefully plucked to avoid damaging them.
2. Withering
After the leaves are plucked, they are spread out in the sun to wither. This process reduces the moisture content of the leaves and makes them pliable for the next step.
3. Rolling
The next step is rolling, where the withered leaves are rolled to break down the cell walls and release the tea's flavor. The rolling process is done by hand or using a machine.
4. Drying
After the rolling process, the leaves are dried to stop oxidation and preserve their quality. The drying process can be done using an oven, sun drying, or a dryer.
5. Blending
After the drying process, the tea leaves and spearmint leaves are blended to create the spearmint green tea. The blending process ensures that the tea and spearmint leaves are mixed evenly to produce a consistent flavor.
