Paragraph on Tea-Leaves
First, the tea-leaves are plucked from the garden and brought to the factory. These leaves are spread into huge flat trays. Then they are dried in a large heated room, where they are kept for about twenty hours. The heat softens the leaves. When they are dry, these leaves are cut into pieces in a machine called the shredding machine. Next, the shredded leaves are put in moving trays and sent into a hot oven.
These trays are then taken out from the oven. The color of the leaves changes and they look like the tea-leaves that we buy from the shops. Here they also develop the fine scent. These baked leaves are of different sizes. They have to be separated according to size. So they are put into sieving machines with different sizes of holes. After the leaves are separated, we get big tea-leaves, small tea-leaves and even tea-dust. This tea is then packed and labeled according to size. After that, it is sent off to various places. This is how tea-leaves are processed and made.
