Jeoncha, as the name suggests, refers to tea cakes shaped like copper coins. According to Korean records, Jeoncha originated from Boreumsa Temple in Changseong County, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The temple's founder, Seon Master Daoui, traveled to Tang Dynasty China in 784 AD and during his 37 years there learning Buddhist teachings, he developed a habit of tea production and consumption. Upon his return, he planted tea trees around Boreumsa and taught others how to make a solid, coin-shaped tea using techniques from the Tang Dynasty. Jeoncha produced in Changseong County is known for its color, similar to seaweed and green moss, which is why Koreans also refer to it as Moss Jeoncha. Moss Jeoncha has won awards at various tea evaluations in Japan and Korea and has been featured at major tea expos in South Korea, enjoying great popularity among Korean tea enthusiasts. The traditional production technique of Jeoncha remains preserved in Changseong County, Jeollanam-do, which is quite similar to the tea-making methods described in the Chinese Tang Dynasty's "The Classic of Tea." Following the seven steps from "from picking to sealing," the process of making Jeoncha is as follows: (1) Picking: Fresh leaves for Korean Jeoncha are typically harvested…

Green tea is one of the main types of tea in China, belonging to the category of non-fermented teas. It is made from fresh tea leaves through processes such as fixation, rolling, and drying. Notable varieties of green tea include Biluochun, Zhaopo tea, West Lake Longjing, Lushan Cloud Mist, Dawu green tea, and Jingu Luhao, among others. Green Tea Production Process The processing of green tea can be simply divided into three steps: fixation, rolling, and drying, with the key step being fixation. Fresh leaves undergo fixation, which deactivates enzymes, allowing the various chemical components within to undergo physical and chemical changes primarily due to heat, forming the characteristic qualities of green tea. 1. Fixation During withering and fixation, the internal moisture of the leaves evaporates, and the enzymatic activity is destroyed, preventing further oxidation. This allows for the evaporation of low-boiling-point aromatic compounds while preserving high-boiling-point aromatics, locking in the intrinsic aroma of the tea. As the temperature rises, high-boiling-point aromatic substances become more prominent. This process also evaporates moisture from the leaves, making them softer and preparing them for rolling. Shaking fixation involves lifting the leaves to facilitate moisture loss and the release of grassy odors, allowing a…

The floral-scented Bai Mudan tea is made from suitable raw materials for white tea production, processed through a combination of withering, shaking the green, stacking after merging sieves, baking, and sorting. The processing of floral-scented Bai Mudan tea mainly includes the following steps: 1. First combined withering: indoor natural withering, indoor heated withering, and sun withering are combined. Sun withering should be done during the morning or evening when the sunlight is weak. 2. Shaking the green: this is done once, shaking 40 to 60 times. 3. Second combined withering: it starts with indoor heated withering at a temperature of 15 to 25°C and relative humidity of 40% to 50%, lasting 3 to 6 hours. If the moisture content of the withered leaves reaches 18% to 22%, they can then be transferred to indoor natural withering, which lasts 2 to 5 hours to complete. 4. Stacking after merging sieves: after the second combined withering, the sieves are merged, and the tea is piled up to a thickness of 15 to 35 cm. The stacking process lasts 1 to 7 days. 5. Initial baking: at a temperature of 50 to 60°C, lasting 60 to 100 minutes. 6. Sorting: after the initial…

Planting is a critical link in the tea industry chain, providing a guarantee for high-quality tea but also accounting for a significant portion of current tea production costs. Complex planting conditions and labor shortages continue to drive up the cost of tea cultivation, making intelligent planting an inevitable path for transforming tea production from traditional to modern modes. I. Framework of Intelligent Tea Tree Planting Intelligent planting is a comprehensive management system supported by advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing, encompassing agricultural monitoring, optimized decision-making, and automated equipment scheduling. 1. Monitoring and Sensing Layer The monitoring and sensing layer acts as the "eyes" and "ears" of the intelligent system, serving as the foundation for information processing. This layer relies on various sensors mounted on carrier platforms to collect real-time data about the environment around the tea trees and the trees themselves, such as temperature, humidity, radiation, and nutrient levels. The intelligent system requires that this information be acquired in situ, in real-time, with precision, speed, and intelligence, necessitating massive data storage compared to traditional observations. 2. Transmission and Storage Layer The transmission and storage layer serves as the "nervous system" and "warehouse"…
