Visitors can discover the beauty of nature and culture within the aroma of tea and witness the most beautiful cultural landscape in the tea-producing region. Do you know how many processes tea leaves go through from picking to drying? From picking tea buds → sun and hot air withering → indoor resting → pan-frying → rolling → first drying → second drying.
