The diagram illustrates the process of black tea production. Overall, it can be seen that there are 2 ways for creating tea, traditional and modern method
At first, the tea picker just takes the tea leaves which only 2 top leaves and bud in order to guarantee the good tea's quality. Next, the leaves is put on the racks and air from fan passed through leaves until 60% of moisture is out.
Then, the process would be divided by 2 methods. In one hand, the traditional method, the leaves are done by rolling in which leaves is rolled, flat and broken while the modern method, those needs to be cut, turn, and curled. As a result, both produce enzymes. While those are combined with air, it leads oxidation which rolled leaves spread on tiles or cement. Afterwards, the leaves changes to copper colour as a sign of fermentation. Before being a fix black tea, the leaves are dried in oven or hot air dryers in order to release flavour and smell while those remain 3% of total moisture in fixed black tea.
