Tea; Tea trade -- China. 216 MANIPULATION OF HYSON TEA. an example where the roaster wished to display his skill, rather than as one to be imitated. The steam also arising from the leaves was so considerable that I could scarcely bear my hand over it for an instant. This great accumulation of heat and steam, more than in the manipulation of black tea, is solely to. be ascribed to the greater depth of the Kuo from the surface of the stove, thereby confining the steam, and preventing that rapid dispersion of the fluids which takes place in a vessel of flatter con- struction. About half a pound of leaves were put into the Kuo at one time, when they produced the crackling.
