Caykur Tea Kamelya 500Gr

Black tea, one of the most popular teas in the world, is usually harvested by hand, with scissors or by machine. The first process after harvesting this plant is withering. Depending on the technology applied after the withering process, the leaves of the plant are cut into various sizes and shapes by rolling, CTC (cutting, tearing, curling) or rotervaning. The purpose of withering is to draw moisture from the leaves, increasing the content. It also helps the leaves of the plant wrap easily for the next step. Thus, it minimizes moisture loss when leaves are curled or crushed. In the rolling process, the leaves of the cheapest supermarket plant are rolled into crinkled strips. The goal is to create bruises on the leaf surface where certain extracts, essential oils and juices leak and come into contact with oxygen. In this way, it initiates the oxidation process by forming compounds that affect the taste, smell and colour of the brewed plant.

It is worth noting that the rolling process gives the plant its curly shape. However, the CTC process creates spherical shapes of various sizes. This process is faster than the orthodox method. In addition, the plants produced by this method are mostly used in products prepared as bags. Rotorvane is used to shrink unrolled leaves by crushing them. Whatever the method, the leaves of the fresh plant are curled or crushed as a result. With the onset of oxidation, the plant begins to reveal all its flavours. Controlling the oxidation stage with the aid of a regulated, optimized system provides a certain standard. Under certain humidity and temperature conditions, a uniform oxidation can be achieved for all leaves. This is one of the most important steps in which the brewed colour, strength, bitterness and aroma structure of the plant begin to take shape. The oxidation is followed by the cooking process of the plant and the green killing phase, which causes the leaves to lose 3-5% of their moisture and turn black. This ensures the emergence of the dried herb that can be used for a long time. Then, the cheapest supermarket product is separated from the stem of the dried plant and other foreign materials that may be mixed with the leaves. After the separation process is completed, the leaves of the plant are sorted according to quality and size, and the products are prepared.
