The invention discloses an
osmanthus fragrans Don sour tea making method which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
raw material preparation: selecting fresh and complete tea leaves without
plant diseases and
insect pests and
osmanthus fragrans; after being accepted and accepted, the fresh leaves are spread on a dustpan or a bamboo basketry in time, and water
evaporation is accelerated; one of boiling water fixation, steam fixation or stir-frying fixation is adopted; quickly cooling the
enzyme-deactivated leaves to
room temperature by adopting a spreading and airing rack, a platform and a bamboo strip mat, wherein the
water content of the tea leaves is 55-68%; rolling and mixing the tea leaves and the sweet-scented
osmanthus in proportion; loading the rolled tea and
cassia bark mixture into the pretreated
fermentation container, compacting and sealing for anaerobic
fermentation; taking out the tea leaves after
fermentation, pounding the tea leaves into tea paste in a stone hammer, kneading the tea paste into dragon beads or pressing the tea paste into round pieces, and
drying the tea leaves in the sun until the
water content of the tea leaves is less than or equal to 13%. The method solves the problems that traditional bamboo tube fermentation easily generates urn
flavor and canned fermentation cannot effectively fuse
osmanthus fragrans flavor, realizes natural and lasting fusion of
osmanthus fragrans flavor, and improves tea quality and flavor level.
