Collection - The plucked leaves is collected after weighment in crate to maintain their softness.  3. Transportation - Then by vehicle, it is send to factory for manufacturing 4. Withering - By this process we deduct moisture from leaves to concentrate theine alcoloid in control measures. For Orthodox - 40-45% loss weight from leaves @4%/ hour. Determine moisture% - By K.B. moisture meter we can determine withering. In this process we take 5 gram CTC cutting wither leaves and keep it in K.B Moisture Meter for 25 minutes and then we...
