Re: Drying or making green tea from sun dried Tea Leaves..and ideas ?

I am sorry I haven’t respond to this earlier. Yes forcing through heat is a way to use a “big fan” to hurry drying. As a matter of fact it is part of the design of most modern auto green tea drying setup, where external heat is applied. The leaves actually dance vigorously in the drying chamber. The factor in concern is time here. Where in an auto production line with external heat, the total processing time is shortened to a few hours where drying is 15~20 minutes, drying by way of sunning takes much longer. A lengthy process gives time to enzymic reactions before things get too dry or cooked for any chemical actions. If you manage to draw the air flow without rattling the leaves, I guess the fan is still a great thing to use.
