Fried tea

Fried tea, also known as pan-fried tea, is a type of tea processing method commonly used for green tea, Oolong tea, and some black tea. During the frying process, tea leaves are heated in a pan over high heat to stop the oxidation process. This method gives the tea a unique flavor and aroma. Frying tea is a skilled technique that requires careful control of temperature and timing to achieve the desired results. The tea is frequently stirred during frying to ensure even heating and prevent burning. Additionally, the moisture content of the leaves must be closely monitored to prevent over-drying. Frying tea can be done by hand or by using specialized equipment.
