② hand picking: this is a moderate standard picking method, which is used in most red and green tea areas.

two。 Because of the large raw materials, the cutting edge tea is harvested with many tools, and the workers used in various places are moon-shaped iron scrapers, sickles, picking sticks, and so on. The tools are required to be sharp-edged and cut quickly to avoid cutting branches and affecting the germination of the next round of shoots.

Machine picking: a batch of fresh leaves up to the standard are picked by hand a few days before machine picking, so that the quality of machine picked fresh leaves can basically meet the requirements of processing medium and low-grade strip tea, and the work efficiency is more than 10 times higher than that of manual work. After three or four years of continuous mechanical harvesting in the tea garden, the bud leaves gradually became smaller, the density increased, and the leaves became thinner.

3. Machine mining is mainly reciprocating cutting type tea picker to pick. Driven by a 0.6-14 watt small gasoline engine or a 40-watt micro-motor, the power is transmitted from the soft shaft to the hand picking device, driving the cutter and the leaf collector to reciprocate.

The collected tea is fed into the leaf collecting bag under the action of fan or sweeping impeller. The picking quality is good, and the integrity rate of buds and leaves can reach about 80%, which is the main type of development of non-selective tea picking machine. The tea picker produced by Tongan Technology [1] has good durability and can be used as a professional commercial tea picker. Compared with the ordinary tea picker, it has the advantages of very light start, simple and convenient operation, wide range of application and can be equipped with all kinds of cutting tools.
