Our Da Hong Pao tea is meticulously crafted in the Wuyi Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ideal tea-growing conditions. The region's unique rocky soil, high humidity, and misty environment create the perfect terroir for cultivating this high-quality oolong tea. The tea leaves are hand-picked and processed using traditional methods, including withering, rolling, and roasting. The natural environment of the Wuyi Mountains imparts a distinctive "rock rhyme" to the tea, enhancing its unique flavor and quality.

![Withering](https://chichatea.com/cdn/shop/files/Withering.png?v=1717919349&width=140)
Under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, the tea leaves are evenly spread out, allowing moisture to evaporate and enzyme activity to increase. This moderate promotion of enzyme activity helps to release some moisture and dissipate the grassy smell, preparing the leaves for subsequent processing steps.
![Tossing](https://chichatea.com/cdn/shop/files/shake.png?v=1717919349&width=140)
Tossing is an important step in the processing of oolong tea and directly affects the quality of the tea. After withering, the tea leaves are placed in bamboo sieves and tossed, allowing the leaves to relax and spread out. The refreshed leaves are then left to rest (air wither), during which moisture evaporates and they continue to wilt. The processes of tossing and air withering are alternated and repeated multiple times. The edges of the leaves rub against each other and oxidize, resulting in green leaves with red edges.
![Fixation](https://chichatea.com/cdn/shop/files/Fixation.png?v=1717919349&width=140)
By using high temperatures to inhibit fermentation and the enzymatic oxidation of substances such as tea polyphenols, fixation preserves the inherent green color of the tea leaves while reducing their moisture content and softening them in the process.
![Rolling](https://chichatea.com/cdn/shop/files/Roling.png?v=1717919349&width=140)
The process involves applying external force to break and lighten the tea leaves, rolling them into strips and reducing their volume while disrupting their structure. Additionally, some tea juices are extruded and adhere to the surface of the leaves, significantly enhancing the tea's flavor intensity.
![Drying](https://chichatea.com/cdn/shop/files/Drying.png?v=1717919349&width=140)
Drying is the final step in the initial processing of tea leaves. It involves evaporating excess moisture, deactivating enzyme activity, and halting enzymatic oxidation. This process also promotes thermochemical reactions within the tea leaves, enhancing their aroma and flavor.
