Tea Manufacture in C. R. Harler Way

摘要

In a tea estate the manager generally has full control over both field and factory, and he arranges the plucking so that big rushes in crop are minimized as far as practicable. In factories where small holders supply the leaf, such control is limited,as is also that on the fineness of the plucking. If crop containing 'red leaf is brought to the factory, such leaf should be discarded. A frequent leaf count of a typical part of the pluck should be made. The subject of 'red leaf is discussed in Chapter 2. An indication as to what comprises a fine pluck is also given.
