The invention discloses a semi-underground tea withering method which comprises the following steps: S1, planting: planting
pinus massoniana at a flat position near a tea
processing plant for more than 5 years in advance, controlling the
plant spacing to be 1.8 square meters, and building a forest land with the total area of more than 5 mu; s2,
afforestation:
pruning branches at the bottom three years after the
masson pine is planted, enabling the
lower trunk to be 2 m or above, and breeding into a
pine forest; s3, digging a withering
pool: when the
canopy density of the
pine forest bred in the step S2 reaches 90% or above, digging the withering
pool between rows of the forest, piling soil taken out from the digging
pool around the pool, and leveling the bottom; s4, building a sunshelter; s5, sewing a cooling mat; s6, spreading and cooling a mat; s7, performing withering; and S8, taking out. According to the semi-underground
tea leaf withering method, the
tea leaf withering method is improved, the withering site is arranged in the
pine forest, the shading degree is good, the naturalness of the withering environment is kept, and the fragrance and
nutritional quality of the tea leaves are improved due to the fact that the
pine pollen pervading in the air naturally floats on the tea leaves in the pine blossom season.
