Detailed Explanation of the Technical Process for Refining Eyebrow Tea

Its product shape resembles an eyebrow, hence the name eyebrow tea. Eyebrow tea is one of the bulk export teas of Zhejiang green tea. Eyebrow tea is made by selecting long-pan-fired green tea (Hangzhou pan-fired green tea, Suichang pan-fired green tea, Wenzhou pan-fired green tea) as raw material, and processing it through refining and blending. The refining process adopts the method of single-grade feeding and multi-grade recovery of finished products.

The processing operations are divided into: re-firing and rolling of rough tea, sorting, beating, shaking, cutting, picking and removing, fanning, re-firing and coloring, clearing wind and cutting off dust. Semi-finished products are stored in piles, then blended according to samples, evenly piled and boxed to become export eyebrow tea. Its product specifications are divided according to quality and shape into Special Chun, Chun Mee, Yu Tea, Xiu Mee, tea slices, etc. Enterprises processing eyebrow tea mainly include refined tea factories in Hangzhou, Lin'an, Chun'an, Kaihua, Anji, Huzhou, Suichang, Songyang, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Deqing, Yuhang, Fuyang, Jiande, Quzhou, Jiangshan, Changshan, Sanmen, Xianju, Pingyang, Taishun, Cangnan, etc. The processed finished eyebrow tea is mainly allocated to Zhejiang Tea Import and Export Company for blending and export.
