RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Xiaoguan Cha helps make the tea superior and promote the traditional tea industry. As a large producer of tea leaves, China has numerous tea companies and tea stores of various scales, the quality of which is uneven. Xiaoguan Cha cooperates with tea-making masters and sets product standards in accordance with the requirements of high grade tea leaves posed by traditional tea-making techniques, and its own tea-making skills and cumulative experience. Meanwhile, we watch out the production process very carefully to ensure the high quality of our products.
CHALLENGE: The difficulty is how to guarantee the high quality of tea. In order to solve this problem, the machine applies double-layer pressurized tea-making technology and simulates the two-stage manual process of Chinese tea-making so that users can enjoy the tea with best flavor and high quality.
