[Explanation] Right now is the season of spring tea, and tea picking and frying in various places has entered the peak season.
Recently, the staff of Zhongshanling Tea Factory in Zhongshan Scenic Area are busy picking and frying Yuhuachun tea.
[Explanation] The reporter saw at the scene that several tea-picking workers carefully picked fresh and tender buds in the tea garden. This busy scene of "tea-picking with ten fingers" also marked the official release of "Touguo" Yuhua tea.

The picking of Yuhua tea is based on one bud and one leaf. One bud and one leaf are initially unfolded at a 45-degree angle. Gently lift it with your hands, do not pinch with your fingernails, as it will damage the buds.
[Explanation] The production process of Nanjing Yuhua tea needs to go through the process of picking buds and leaves, mild withering, high temperature fixing, moderate rolling, shaping and drying.

Normally, we can come out and pick at dawn in the morning. After returning, the buds we picked should be moderately withered.
[Explanation] The purpose of mild withering is mainly to reduce the moisture of fresh leaves and emit green grass.
It has played an important role in increasing the aroma, improving the taste and improving the quality of Nanjing Yuhua tea.
According to Cao Zhiyu, the non-genetic inheritor of Nanjing Yuhua tea, the listing price of Nanjing Yuhua tea this year is basically the same as in previous years.

The price this year is similar to that of previous years. The group purchase price of this kind of Mingqian tea is about 4,000 yuan per catty, and the retail price (per catty) is about 6,000 yuan.
In the past two weeks, the temperature has been relatively high, and the quality has been slightly affected, but the impact is not very large.
