The invention discloses a method for fermenting old leaves of Kongfu black tea, which comprises the steps of: taking middle and small-leaf dark brownish green, i.e. one bud has 3-4 leaves; thinly tedding the dark brownish green in an environment with a temperature of 20-30 DEG C and humidity of 70-90%, wherein 2-3 times of flipping is carried out during the process of tedding; fully filling withered leaves in a rolling bucket, rolling at a revolution speed of 35-45 r/min for 50-60 minutes without pressing, then lightly pressing to 1/4-1/3 of the rolling bucket, and alternating for 10-20 minutes, wherein the time for whole rolling is 75-100 minutes until 85-95% of the rolled leaves become orange and yellow, and the rope-forming rate is 80-90%; and putting the rolled leaves in a fermenting disc, wherein the thickness of piled leaves is 10-12 cm, the environment has a temperature of 20-30 DEG C and humidity of 90-95%, 3-6 times of flipping is carried out during the process until 90-95% of the rolled leaves become yellowish red, have brightly colored luster, and are fragrant and sweet or fruity. The method for fermenting the old leaves of the Kongfu black tea lowers breaking and crushing rate and improves completeness of bud leaves, and the even fermentation is guaranteed.
