When the leaves are dark green and soft, he keeps the pot at a moderate temperature and starts to knead, so that the water in the leaves evaporates, the rope tightens and curls into a spiral shape. Later, he cools down and rubs the ball. When the tea leaves are squeezed and released, a pot of high-quality Biluochun is made.
