Pu-erh Tea Processing

  • Pu-erh tea processing is made in four steps: withering, kill-green, rolling and sun-drying. We follow a batch of tea leaves from natural tea gardens during the whole process and monitor its water content at each step. You'll be surprised by the results!
    We shot this video in our tea factory in Jingmai Mountain in March 2017, during the early Spring harvest. Presented by William, filmed by Yubai.

    This is such a great video. Not only is the step-by-step processing a great learning experience, but also, your discussion of "redness" versus "greenness" in processed puerh is quite enlightening, and sheds light on why certain puerh in my collection has the flavor and aroma that it does (of course beyond the many other factors at play, e.g. terroir). It is also great vocabulary that can be used to further describe puerh tea. In your personal opinion, would you prioritize drinking redder teas when they're younger due to the potential of unpleasant aging? Perhaps this prioritization is more relevant to those of us with relatively small collections of tea (

    That was VERY interesting. And, I admire the amount of work you put into withering the tea. Just watching it made my arms start to ache! It makes me wonder how the first tea came into being! How did they ever come up with this complex process in order to create a liquid beverage that we love so much! Ancient peoples were remarkable in their creativity. I will never take my cup of tea for granted, again. Your presentation and explanations were excellent. Thank you.
