Development course of cocoon tea
According to the grade of raw materials and production technology, cocoon tea is divided into special grade and ordinary grade. Super-grade cocoon tea is made from a new cocoon tea with one bud and one leaf, which is well-developed and fully developed. It is refined through the processes of enzyme fixation, primary kneading, primary baking, secondary kneading, baking and picking. Ordinary cocoon tea with one bud and two to three leaves is processed by the baking process of Yunnan Daye tea. Cocoon tea has developed from a single product in the past to a series of products, including cocoon needles, Honghe cocoon tea, dream spring, Senecio scandens, aesculus ginseng, stir-fried green tea, clouds and so on. Among them, cocoon tea was rated as high-quality tourism specialty tea in Yunnan Province for three times in a row, and Lvchun cocoon and silver needle was listed as the designated product of the first "Kunming Fair". In recent years, the popularity of Lvchun Cocoon Tea, a tourist specialty, is getting higher and higher. In order to improve product quality, Honghe Lvchun Tea Company, which mainly produces cocoon tea, pays great attention to processing technology and new product development while strengthening tea garden and team management, so that cocoon tea maintains a good competitive momentum in the market. The cultivation of Honghe cocoon tea has developed from sporadic field planting to large-scale planting now. At present, the county tea company owns more than 4,400 acres of tea gardens, with an annual output of nearly 6,543,800 kilograms of cocoon tea. Products are exported to Yunnan province and abroad, and exported to Morocco, Pakistan, Russia and other countries and regions.
