Picking technology of Baiya Qilan tea

The picking technology of Baiya Qilan tea is closely related to the growth and development of tea trees and the quality of tea. If the picking method is improper and random picking, it will not only affect the development and growth of tea trees, but also lead to premature senescence of tea trees, and is not conducive to seedling and ear cutting. the collected single leaves and the shoots and leaves broken by mechanical injury are difficult to green, and the quality of the finished tea is poor. If it is not picked at the right time, picked too early or too late, the tea will be too young or too old, and the quality of the tea will be poor. Therefore, when picking, we should not only consider the quality of finished tea, but also take into account the growth and development of tea trees, timely picking, put an end to random picking, correctly deal with the relationship between picking tea and keeping leaves to raise trees, and do a good job of "picking face to raise the bottom, mining height and raising low." side cultivation, dense cultivation, large and small harvest ", so as to achieve the combination of mining and cultivation, taking into account the quality. The picking criteria are as follows: the new shoots of tea trees grow to 2 Mel 3 leaves, and the maximum should not exceed 4 leaves. Generally, 10% of the buds reach the opening of Primary 1 Middle School (some can be picked in advance). Among them, 70% of spring tea is carried out in the top leaf, 40% in the top leaf of summer tea, and 50% in the top leaf of autumn and winter tea. The picking method is "broken heart horizontal picking method". Where possible, tea picking machine can be used to improve the yield and freshness of fresh leaves.

When picking, you should not grasp too much so as not to break or break the shoots and leaves. The tea leaves should be packed with bamboo "tea cards" and baskets, and the quantity should be appropriate, not heavy pressure, stacking, let alone people to step on them, nor should they be packed in gunny bags or plastic bags, so as not to turn red leaves. The tea green picked should be organized and transported in time, and squeeze and collision should be minimized on the way. Zhangzhou has a warm climate and abundant rainfall. Most tea areas can harvest four seasons a year. Climatic conditions are also one of the main factors that directly affect the quality of Baiya Qilan tea. Generally, it is better to pick tea on a sunny day. Afternoon green (tea green picked before 9:00 to 4:00) is the best, followed by late green, early green often with dew, the worst quality. The tea harvested in the north wind sunny day is better than the south wind sunny day, because the climate condition of the north wind sunny day is beneficial to control the endoplasmic change, the aroma is lost less, and the tea is strong and fresh. Therefore, when the shoots of tea trees grow to meet the picking standards, we should try our best to seize the favorable opportunity of sunny day and surprise picking from 9 am to 4 pm to increase the number of afternoon green in order to improve the quality. At the same time, the morning, noon, evening green, old and tender green, dry and wet green should be separated at the same time.
