Damp tea leaves, many people are used to the sun-drying method, but the ultraviolet rays in the sun will destroy the various components in the tea leaves, affecting the color, aroma, and taste of the tea. How to deal with it better?
1. Use a microwave
For this method, you should put a small amount of tea leaves in each time and roast them multiple times. The set time each time should not be too long, so as to avoid burning the tea leaves and creating a more pungent strange smell.
2. Roast in a rice cooker
Remember, when using this method, do not cover the rice cooker. After the rice cooker's switch automatically pops up, turn over the tea leaves and then press the switch again.
3. Stir-fry in an iron wok
First, heat the iron wok over the lowest flame on a gas stove, then add the tea leaves. Without changing the heat setting, continue to use the lowest flame, constantly turning the tea leaves. It is best to use wooden utensils, and apply gentle force to avoid damaging the integrity of the tea leaves.
