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

thanks for answering my question! Ive seen a tumble dryer used that has heat forced through it. Wouldnt this rattle the leaves? I could make a tunnel and put the leaves on an open mesh. Putting the leaves in the open sun does heat them up,so i was playing with the idea of drying them with ambient warm air. Sun does evaporate volatile oils,which i was hoping would add to the flavour,but if they roast leaves to make sencha,then there goes the oils. Thinking out loud here. Thanks again.
