- Pu-erh tea processing is made in four steps: withering, kill-green, rolling and sun-drying. We follow a batch of tea leaves from natural tea gardens during the whole process and monitor its water content at each step. You'll be surprised by the results!
We shot this video in our tea factory in Jingmai Mountain in March 2017, during the early Spring harvest. Presented by William, filmed by Yubai.

2. Weathering for 5-6 hrs
3. Steam the leaves by rolling and turning over continously in the wok non srop doe use low heat for 20 mins.
4. Spread the leaves to steam off
5. Roll the leaves by hand gently for 20 mins or until rolled.
6. Spread the leaves overnight to completely finish off the moisture and clear oxidation
7. Spread under the sun for 12hrs until dry and crispy
8. Store in a dry place
such an articulate farmer. makes me want to quit my day job and start a tea farming operation! 😅😅
want to team up and do it? 😳
@@jakersaridakis hahaha. perhaps! it’s time for a bug shift!!
This is the best explanation of how to make proper Puerh. Thank you so much for making this!
Hopefully this technology will never be lost.
So fascinating. Thank you for sharing the process of making tea with us!
Thank you!

Wow you guys really spoiled us this time. Thank you very much for showing the whole processing of making my beloved loose raw pu'er tea. All of the very best to you all.
This is such a great video. Not only is the step-by-step processing a great learning experience, but also, your discussion of "redness" versus "greenness" in processed puerh is quite enlightening, and sheds light on why certain puerh in my collection has the flavor and aroma that it does (of course beyond the many other factors at play, e.g. terroir). It is also great vocabulary that can be used to further describe puerh tea. In your personal opinion, would you prioritize drinking redder teas when they're younger due to the potential of unpleasant aging? Perhaps this prioritization is more relevant to those of us with relatively small collections of tea (
Wow! This was such a treat to watch! As a tea lover this was beyond interesting. Thank you!
I have watched this video again and again and still love it. It looks simple, but I think to know the right timing is an art. Thanks William and Yu Bai ^^
Wow! What a fascinating process! You very very concise and explained everything very well! It’s nice to see an artisan at work!
That was VERY interesting. And, I admire the amount of work you put into withering the tea. Just watching it made my arms start to ache! It makes me wonder how the first tea came into being! How did they ever come up with this complex process in order to create a liquid beverage that we love so much! Ancient peoples were remarkable in their creativity. I will never take my cup of tea for granted, again. Your presentation and explanations were excellent. Thank you.
beautiful video. The way you approached the tea world is also very interesting. It is not easy to find a manufacturer like you that sells and shows the production process. It's great to see how what you buy is created. compliments.
Great video, I learnt alot from it ,thanks ❤
Very informative. Very instructive.
Also, through the raw style of shooting and minimal editing, I get a sense of visiting your beautiful place. Many thanks. Greetings from the Netherlands, Europe.
Fantastic......
The way you explained about the process & the way you carried out the entire process was very clear..
Very informative video.
I never praise anyone easily, but you deserve my appreciation.
Well done..... God bless you.
Amazing chap. You explain, the processes so well . I am glad to have watched the video, and thanks for sharing it.
I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you.
You are amazing. You really did a very good job of teaching. I appreciate your detailed explanation.
dude, you're amazing. I'm so curious about your story and how you ended up in this lifestyle. Would love to be doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Very explicit and clear. What a lot of dedication. Now we know more why Farmerleaf tea is so great.
Absolutely Amazing! Thanks for making and shaking this.
Wow, you rock!!! Thank you for showing this process. You explained it well and it is now clearer in my mind. I've enjoyed fine Puers for the past years of traveling to China and it's my first drink of the day. I think I'm ready to switch profession here. I hope to come and meet you when we get to fly again. Xie xie for this great video!
I appreciate the explanation of the differences between green and puerh during sha ching was curious about that.
Thank you for the effort showing us every step of this process! :)
Interesting. Thanks!
This is something that just blew my mind. Very interesting
Great video. Very clear and academic explanation.
So detailed! Thank you so much for the excellent presentation!
Very cool video. Thanks for sharing.
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your craft!
Bravo! Excellent video. Very informative. I loved it and loved learning how to say Pu-erh. It's great seeing where my tea this morning might have come from. .
Thank you so much for the excellent and interesting video. I only have a small garden of tea here in Hawaii but now understand much more..
Look forward to seeing your other videos !

This week I received the Tea! Raw Pu-erh and White Tea! AWESOME. I never tasted something similar! It's totally different to all the comercial Teas I used to drink... great and good surprise! I love it. thank you William.
So you were in Jingmai, this is very interesting I think you are doing something meaningful, you fine the right way to know the whole process of making Chinese tea Puer, even me don’t know about that, thanks 🙏
Very good explanation.i give you five stars
sheeeeesh that was a symphony of detail information and care
Such a fascinating tea making process. Waiting for my tea to be delivered which I ordered from Vietnam 😄😄
I’m enjoying a very nice cup of puer tea right now. 😊
Great presentation
It is very informative. Thank you for sharing this video.
Really well made video. Your have deep knowledge of tea processing and it shows when you talk. Best wishes.
super cool!
Thank you for your honest indepth knowledge. Amazing work and attitude. Salut...
Great presentation, thanks. It demonstrates the richness in the traditions of making this type of tea. Question; what is the approximate temperature at the kill-green pan?
thank you for watching, we start the sha qing at around 250 degree Celsius at the bottom of the wok and once the leaves are in the wok, it drops at about 150-200. We generally finish the session at 120-150.
@@farmerleaf61 is there a simple way to understand that pan is warm enough? I want to give a shot with some leaves thay I have collected, but unfortunately have no way to mesure if the temperature of my pan is ok or not. Btw, thanks for the video!
AmazinG! Was looking to start tea company here in US. Maybe i should speak with this guy!
excellent explanation...thank you for teaching us how is done...
Need more tea videos like this.... Great video!!!!
great video, it really shows the whole process
Very nice video. You offered lots of information. Thank you so much!
Nice video keep it up the good work
Splendid video! Thank you for taking us through the whole process so well. Hope I will be able to savour Pu-erh Tea some day.
Thank you for sharing your process!
That is an excellent job you've done. Beautifully explained. Would you have a similar video of Oolong manufacture?
Thanks for the info, it was very useful to understand more about pu
Hello William - thank you for making these wonderful videos. I'm curious: if you apply these tea production methods to the leaves of other plants (i.e., NOT camellia sinesis), can you get anything interesting or useful, or does it only work with tea?
I know people tried applying similar methods to a herb called "ivan chai" and got interesting results.
Wow this is absolutely fascinating
Also can you make a video of how to make green tea...the video is very elaborate & educative...thanks & good job...👍🏻
We don't make green tea in Jingmai, i am not qualified enough to show that processing.
Very interesting, thank you for explaining the whole process.
Thanks for sharing. Love what you do😊🙏
Brilliant. Well done. Where’s the website for placing orders? Regardless, I greatly appreciate the education.

Thank you!
Thank you so much for this interesting and informative video! I am trying to make tea at home with various plants-basically I'm trying to apply the "craft" of tea to various leaves around me. Is there another way to roll the leaves without a machine? Will rolling by hand work? And will you talk about the storage of the finished tea leaves -what is the proper way to store and age tea? Thank you.
Great video. Super informative and interesting . Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge.
Great video, thanks!
Amazing video I wish I am with you. You explained very clearly. A thousands thanks for sharing.
Hello, great video, so much knowledge. I've been trying to find the chinese word for pan-frying (or kiln-burn process as you called it), but I am not able to. It sounds like "Sha Ting". Thank you
Thank you! The kill-green process is called Sha Qing 杀青:
@@farmerleaf61 Once I put it in Google, it found your 5 years old video. I am sorry for bothering. Your channel is a tresure. Thank you so much, be well.
Awesome, thank you!
Why is it important to let the tea oxidize over the years. What's the difference if you just let it oxidize faster during the processing?
Kan die tee geoes word en die ouderdom van die struik een jaar is ... en waarom .....?
Very interesting Video! Love those leaves.
Wow!
I truly enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Thak You
Deep bow, thank you! I need those trays!
Soo beautiful vid
I am in love with watching you work and your processing plant! I want to visit you in your country!
Very good and educative. Can I take the 'youtube' and place it as an essential educational matter. Please reply.
Again thanks.
Interesting. Thank you.
Of the 3.5KG finished tea, how much of those yellow leaves will be sorted out (approximately)...?
In early Spring, you typically get 2-10% yellow flakes, in autumn, it can go as high as 50%! It depends a lot in the coarseness of the raw material and to a lesser extent on processing.
Very good and informative! Thank you for sharing this, it really tickles the tea nerd in me! ^^
I saw on your website it looks like you don't use chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Do you stick to clean farming or does it happen that not so nice chemicals are used in your tea farm and farms around you?
I learned so much from this, thank you!
Do u wash the leaves? I ve seen another video where the tea was 1st soaked in a warm water.
You were brilliant. Thank You.
Tks..appreciate the prompt & detailed revert...
How did the rolling process by hand work in the old days?
This was fascinating. Great video.
great video! many thanks
I live in Siberia and i have no fresh tea leaves so i may use raspberry leaves and some local wild plants
Can you also use green tea to make these break cakes too?
Really interesting, i enjoyed watching that! Thanks :)
wow ..tea guru
just what i was looking for, thank you!
Really enjoyed learning something new. Can I buy direct?
This is our website: www.farmer-leaf.com
Can I do this process in a wok in the kitchen? Thank's for a great video

How about making green tea? Do we need to withering the tea leaves? And what is the temperature of doing shaqing? And how to do next?
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing.
What is the difference between making your puer and green tea? It's pretty same process as I watched
I am wondering if drying process is necessarily to be sun-drying. I think important thing is low-temperature drying, so shade-drying or machine-drying both would be okay as long as it's drying temperature is similar to sun-drying. What do you think of it?
Machine drying is used in cheap tea production, I've never particularly studied this option, I guess low temperature drying is ok, in Summer, it might be the only option. I've never seen shade-drying, that's a lot of water to evaporate. On cloudy days, during the rainy season, the tea can dry eventually if put in a greenhouse, but it's good to have at least half an hour of direct sunlight to make it crisp. I guess lowering the pressure could be an option, although a costly one, freeze-drying could also be feasible.
@@farmerleaf61 Thank you very much. I still wonder if the purpose of of sun-drying晒干 is its low temperature drying, or making tea leaf expose to sun-light. Or tea leaf need both low temperature drying process and sunlight?
So is this green tea atlast?
Can you install subtitles for this video?
hi there, thank you for sharing this information in the video. i just dehydrate parsley to be used as a spices, but from a 7kg batch the end result is only as low as 500 grams :( . is there any way that i can do to increase the weight of my dehydrated herbs? Thank you!
