Charcoal-roasting, being such a important part of ancient chinese tea culture. Before industrialization, the only way for tea from Asia to be dried and roasted was this craftmanship.

More than a century ago, charcoal-roasted teas have been an integral part of the relationship between Taiwanese and American. In the 19th century, China and Taiwan supplied tea to the whole world; in particular, around 1860, British merchant John Dodd exported large quantities of Taiwanese tea to the United States. All tea need to be sent to the Dadaocheng area in Taipei to be dried by the charcoal-roasting process before they could be shipped to the United States.

However, after the invention of modern equipment, this craft is on the verge of disappearing. The process of charcoal-roasting is simply shown in the diagram below. As being natural, fire from charcoal can not be suspended at any time, it takes 15 to 20 days once the fire is ignited, the process take time. This is such a craft that requires a significant amount of physical and mental effort.
