For green tea a stronger process is used such as steam or pan fry fixation. Sun fixation is used for both sheng and shu puerh tea.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-57368081293220282802012-02-01T18:12:52.221-08:002012-02-01T18:12:52.221-08:00Matt -

It's my understanding that raw goes through a sun fixation, rolling, and then drying. What is the fixation, and what is it accomplishing?<br /><br />Your Douji looks and sounds awesome. I remember seeing this one over on Teachat and Half-Dipper's page. Seems to be a fairly popular sample! Very beautiful photos that just exude peace and tranquility.Centranthushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294636792638405481noreply@blogger.com
