The process begins with gentle withering to reduce moisture, followed by the signature \"sha qing\" (kill-green) in iron woks over precise heat. Skilled tea masters use their bare hands to press, lift, and shape the leaves—a technique known as \"huí chǎo\" (return panning)—repeated multiple times to achieve the flat, sword-like form and lock in the tea's vibrant character. This labor-intensive process requires years of training, as even slight variations in temperature or pressure affect the final quality. The result is a tea with a distinctive \"wok aroma\" (chǎo xiāng) that sets hand-fired Longjing apart from machine-processed versions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dry leaves display a flat, smooth appearance with a jade-green color and a subtle chestnut fragrance.
