Green tea from a wide angle

Posted in Country : China by François-Xavier Delmas | Tags : , , , , ,

Of course, from a wide angle, it looks both a little easy and spectacular. Here, it extends the building, shortens the individuals and spreads tea just the way it is required. Spreading the leaves is in fact exactly what has to be done after plucking to avoid fermentation. All the leaves in the baskets are put together and spread into a thin layer just like this women wearing a white headdress has just done. And since green tea (a Bai Mao Hou, « Hairy White Monkey », to be precise) is going to be made here, armfuls of tea leaves will soon be roasted in a big wok.
