[0002] The big Hongpao tea usually needs to be stored for a period of time to make its internal substances naturally oxidize and mellow in the presence of oxygen, so as to form a unique quality flavor for drinking. In addition, the big Hongpao tea needs to be baked several times to form a unique "rock bone flower fragrance", commonly known as "caramel high-heat fragrance" during the production process. However, some consumers are not used to drinking the big Hongpao tea with the "high-heat caramel fragrance", and even the tea will cause the body to be on fire after being drunk. Therefore, the big Hongpao tea needs to be naturally stored and annealed for 1-2 years before being drunk. At present, the traditional natural storage method is still used in the big Hongpao tea production area for annealing and mellowing. During the natural storage, the tea needs to be ventilated with the external environment to a certain extent, so as to perform the oxidation reaction and accelerate the annealing and mellowing process.
