The process involves sprinkling water over piled up tea leaves (with other conditions applied) to facilitate the fermentation. During the O-dui, the centre of the pile temperature raises up to 60-65 degrees. The leaves need to be turned over regularly to avoid overheating and ‘burning’. During this turning over, the leaves with the highest level of plant glue (produced naturally when the tea leaves are heated) gravitate towards each other to form these tea ‘lumps’. These lumps are normally broken up by tea processers when possible. The ‘in-breakable’ ones are collected and sold as Lao Cha Tou (老茶头).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn comparison to normal loose leaf teas, Lao Cha Tou are richer in inner contend.
