General process of making Green Tea

Green tea leaves, after being carefully hand picked, are brought to a high temperature process of either steaming or heating in a pan, in order to stop the oxidation process. Then the leaves are rolled into different forms depending on the kind of tea. The last process involves drying of the tea, usually over a wok, hand frying them in order to prevent the tea from over cooking as well as to have a better control of the appearances of the tea.
