The method of making tea is explained below :
Making tea in
official or ORTHODOX manner
In the past there were twelve acts
which were performed in three days on tea's leaves consisting of withering, two
steps of drying in a pan, one step of put them in front of the sun, and twice
upon the fire. Up to 1925, making tea had changed in regards to local
conditions. The withering was for 18 to 24 o'clock in the air or ethic room then
from 2 to 6 o'clock rolling, generally it had 3 to 3/5 o'clock in fermentation
period and then for one or two steps was its drying period. The perfect
condition for length, temperature, and speed view point is specified in each of
the tea rise countries. These conditions are so important in quality and even
quantity of produced tea, so that only increasing factories and field under
cultivation is not the reason of the tea's good quality, but the correct method
of withering, rolling, drying and keeping is effective to improve tea's quality.
Today this method of making tea is so
common in many of the tea factories around the world, that the method is called
ORTHODOX manner and Iran tea produced in this manner; because of that only this
kind of tea is sold in Iran. Tea from an Iranian view must be black, golden, and
curved, infact they are in quest of tea, which is produced in ORTHODOX manner.
The disadvantage of this method is the lesser amount of Tanoan in its
solution that will be juicy during its make. In orthodox manner, the amount of
Tanoan is about 11 percent but in UN orthodox (C.T.C) the amount of Tanoan in
tea’s water is 4 to 5 percent more than ORTHODOX manner. About 80 percent of
Indian tea is UN ORTHODOX tea .
Making tea in un
official or C.T.C (un orthodox)
In 1925 a new method was invented of
transforming tea's leaves, which was much quicker and effective than the rolling
machine. To gain this purpose, C.T.C or Rotor van machines were used. In this
method UN wither or less wither leafs are transformed and there will be less
fermentation then drying. In this method one of the lengthy steps, which is
withering, will be omitted. This method is called un official or unorthodox and
tea which is produced in this manner is called C.T.C. In this method, the
log cutter machine is used instead of the rolling machine and leaf's
transformation is complete in some minutes. In this method, the fermentation
step is decreased to a minimum of time. |
