| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立勤益科技大學 === 文化創意事業系 === 106 === For creating a unique flavor Dong-Ding Oolong Tea, it's necessary to follow up the certain process in production process, from Tea Cultivation, Tea Harvesting, Tea Making and Tea Roasting, every step cannot be skipped at all. The tea-making skill of Dong-Ding Oolong Tea is very strict and complicated, this skill is not only a
professional skill, it's kind of traditional technical heritage for centuries.
This strict and complicated tea-making process makes Dong-Ding Oolong Tea with such charming fragrance and flavor. Through an experienced farmer’s determination, he knows the prime time for tea harvesting; then via a senior tea-making master's experience, he provides a suitable tea-making process for fresh leaves; and then with a professional tea leaves rolling skill by an experienced roasted master, he can achieve its' special shape to be loose ball shape or tight ball shape;because of all above traditional tea-making crafts, Dong-Ding Oolong Tea achieves this unique fragrance and flavor.
Viewing Tea Industry development at Lugu village in Nantou County of Taiwan,we found the decreasing tea planting area influenced tea yield;and tea yield became less and less, tea making factory reduced the demand of tea-making masters;when the tea-making masters demand reduced and in addition, customers changed their tea flavor, all these forced tea-making masters to change their traditional tea process and technical heritage to get chasm in different age. More worrisome is how to keep the traditional and complicated tea-making skill and last to the next generation.The maturity and completeness of tea-making skill affect to tea quality, especially for
partially fermented tea.
This research case is focused on a tea producing company located at Fonghuang,Lugu Village.Through several interviews on their Dong-Ding Oolong Tea producing
skill knowledge,the writer recorded their cogitation and process, and lead them to apply Traditional technical heritage.
To figure out application process and apply by their Ball-rolling process of Dong-Ding Oolong Tea, and after all, I provide some advice regarding how to preserve and last this traditional tea process well.
