The invention specifically discloses instant
green tea and a preparation method thereof. The instant
green tea is prepared from fresh tea leaves, and the preparation method comprises
processing steps of breaking, extracting, filtering, concentrating, forming and
drying, wherein the step of concentrating is realized by concentrating through a
reverse osmosis membrane and implementing low-temperature vacuum concentration to obtain a concentrated solution which has 30-50% of
solid content; in the step of forming, a
blow molding process is adopted, and
carbon dioxide gas is filled under
high pressure to be coated in the tea concentrated solution; the step of
drying adopts
supercritical carbon dioxide drying; before breaking, the preparation method further comprises steps of high-temperature and high-pressure steam treatment and
quick freezing, so that enzymes in the tea leaves are deactivated and GCG is generated, and therefore,
oxidation resistance of the tea leaves is enhanced. Through the method disclosed by the invention, active ingredients in the tea leaves are completely extracted and preserved, and the active ingredients are prevented from being oxidized in the preparation process; meanwhile, the granulated
green tea or sliced green tea is filled with
carbon dioxide, so that taste and
aroma in drinking of the instant green tea are improved.
