The process of steaming tea, also known as "steaming" (jap. steamed, mushi), is a technique used mainly in the production of Japanese green teas, such as Sencha, Fukamushicha, or Gyokuro. It involves subjecting freshly picked tea leaves to the action of steam to stop the fermentation process and preserve their green color, taste, and aroma. During steaming, the tea leaves are spread on special racks or conveyor belts and then moved through a chamber with hot steam.. This process usually takes from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the type of tea and the desired final effect.. Steaming deactivates the enzymes responsible for fermentation, allowing the tea to retain its bright green color, fresh taste, and delicate, grassy aroma. After the steaming process, the leaves are cooled and dried, and then subjected to further production stages such as rolling, shaping, and sorting.. The duration of the steaming process affects the consistency, taste, and aroma of the finished tea – longer steaming leads to softer leaves, a deeper flavor, and a more pronounced aroma.
