Summary:Fine manipulation is the key step during the Oolong tea process. The aroma and taste of Oolong tea were brought out from the step which is repeatedly and alternately rocking and airing. In order to solve those problems, new vibrating fine manipulation (VFM) equipment was developed. The equipment has the combined capability of rocking, airing and environment control techniques. It consisted of the power system, vibrating device, and environment control system. It was significantly lower than the humidity of the natural fine manipulation environment in spring (P<0.05). CO sub(2) volume fraction was controlled between 300 and 400 mu l/L. It was significantly lower than the air-conditioning fine manipulation environment in summer (P<0.01). The results showed that the equipment takes advantages of working posture comfort, labor and energy saving. The quality of vibrating fine manipulation raw tea was significantly better than the traditional tea (P<0.01).
