I'd love to see a physics paper written describing how the geometry of those machines and the process creates "ball" rolled oolong. I have a hard time understanding how all of what you showed in the video creates such well formed single leaf balls of tea. Pretty amazing nonetheless.
Thank you William for another great video! This factory looks very well designed and, frankly, not very Chinese :). It's so clean and organized. By the way, I bought their Eastern Beauty and it's amazing!
Wonderful peek behind the curtain Eric! Many thanks for explaining it so well. Can you comment what added / different steps there are to producing Tie Guan Yin?
I've never visited a Tie Guan Yin making factory. The processing of Tie Guan Yin is different in Taiwan and Fujian. It's mainly a varietal name and you could argue that you can process it in different way (high mountain oolong style, dong ding style, even black tea!)
Dear William, once again a very exciting video. Do you know how long they heat (or keep warm) the leaves before each start of the 24 ball shape rolling cycle (團 揉)?
Seeing these videos about tea processing makes me appreciate tea and the price of a good tea even more. Thanks!

I enjoy your presentation very much
Such a great video! Thank you.
Loved this! Hope to learn more from you.
Great video as always! Appreciate you posting these.

@@farmerleaf61 Mahalo! Looking forward to adding some of your teas to our menu here on the island of Maui...

It should be only a few minutes, they need to be maintained at 50-60 degrees celsius.
