The tea master's rule: no hand cream, no perfume, no gloves. You can't just set a temperature; the heat is worked with two switches and his palms.炒茶师傅说,炒茶全靠手去感受:不能涂护手霜,不能喷香水,更不能戴手套。锅温不能靠设定一个温度,要靠两个开关不停地调。The Weight of Tea is a student-made documentary short about the migrant tea pickers of Yixing, Jiangsu, during the spring harvest: the frying, the weighing, the pay tickets, the nights in the shed. A nonprofit project.
