压制壓製
Term · Pressing and forms
pressing
Literal meaning
press (to shape)
Definition#
Pressing softened tea leaf into shapes such as cakes, bricks and bowls, commonly after steaming. Pressing density is a physical feature of the tea, not a reliable ageing clock: it does not by itself establish how quickly a particular tea will change or whether that change will improve it.
