CraftsThe native crafts for the Jillhani are earmarked by the use of paints, clay, glass, silver, and marble combined with fine detail work and incredible color. Cloisonné Jewelry - Enameling by melting the enamel into areas defined by wire soldered to the surface to be decorated. Stained Glass – sand from the sea and the Zuberi border is collected, melted, dyed and poured into lead frames to create stunning works of colored glass. Painted Silk – while the Dyrlings are superior weavers to the Jillhani, it is only the Jillhani who have the knowledge of how to paint on silk. The methods that they use are protected at all cost, as the resultant work is stunning and highly prized. Mosaics – Paints and dyes of almost all types are available in the Jillhani kingdom, and many homes are carefully decorated with detailed and brilliant mosaics. Stone Carving/Sculpting – While all cultures in Comraich have sculpting skills, it is only the Jillhani who are known for the incredible marble sculpting. Painting/Drawing – fine works in colored ink on parchment. And many others ... Producing black teasThe first step in the process of making black tea is called "withering". The leaves are spread on trays called "tats" and as the leaves dry they lose moisture and begin to wilt. The average wilting time is eighteen hours. The next step is rolling. The rolling process, which is done by hand, twists the leaf and bruises it, thus encouraging fermentation. The oxidation process begins, turning the leaf from green to coppery brown. When the rolling is completed, the sifting process begins. This process cools and aerates the leaves, separating leaves of similar size, which will thus ferment at a similar rate. As the oxidation continues, the leaf turns even darker in color and the recognizable tea odor develops. When the leaf has fermented to the desired level, it is fired to stop fermentation and destroy bacteria. After firing, the tea is spread out to cool, then graded and sorted Producing green teasGreen tea is produced by first pan firing or steaming the leaves. This process exposes the tea to heat that destroys the enzymes that would otherwise have caused fermentation, and the leaves become soft and wilted. They are then rolled into the desired shape, and are finally fired to remove excess moisture. Green tea has only 2% of the tea's original moisture. Producing oolong teasOolong tea is prepared by a relatively new process, developed in the middle of the last century. The tea is placed in shallow baskets in the sun for a combined withering and fermentation. The baskets are shaken periodically to bruise the edges of the leaves and release enzymes, so that the edges of the leaves ferment more quickly than the centers. When the tea has oxidized enough, the process is stopped by firing, just as in preparing black teas.
