The invention discloses a processing technique for manufacturing golden tobacco shreds. The technique is characterized by comprising the processes of tobacco leaf selection, low-strength loose moistening, tobacco sheet selection, low-temperature storage, low-moisture flexible shredding and low-temperature leaf shred drying. The technique has the advantages that: (1) the prepared tobacco shreds are golden and have good appearance quality; on the one hand, the tobacco leaves with poor appearance quality in the tobacco leaf raw material are removed by adopting the tobacco leaf and tobacco sheet selection processes so as to improve the purity of the golden tobacco leaves in the tobacco leaf raw material; on the other hand, the tobacco sheet moisture content during shredding and the knife doorpressure of a shredder are reduced by adopting the low-moisture flexible shredding process so that the tobacco shreds producing brown stains after shredding are reduced; and (2) the prepared tobacco shreds have predominant fragrance and good sense quality. The tobacco sheets are treated by adopting the low-strength loose moistening, low-temperature storage and low-temperature drying processes so as to reduce the return air temperature of a tobacco sheet loose moistening device, the storage environment temperature, the leaf shred drying temperature and the tobacco sheet heating time and reducethe fragrance loss of the tobacco sheets during preparing the shreds.
