The invention discloses a fresh tea sorting device and method. The sorting device comprises a transparent conveying belt, a feeding device, an identification device and a removing device, wherein thefeeding device is positioned on the upstream of the transparent conveying belt, the removing device is positioned on the downstream of the transparent conveying belt, and the identification device isused for identifying fresh tea on the transparent conveying belt. The sorting method comprises the following steps of placing the fresh tea on the transparent conveying belt; identifying the fresh tea on the transparent conveying belt; and sorting the fresh tea according to the identification result after the fresh tea is separated from the conveying belt. By adoption of the tea sorting device and method, the fresh tea can be shot and identified on the transparent conveying belt, the bad fresh tea is removed from the fresh tea on the downstream of the transparent conveying belt, when the fresh tea is on the transparent conveying belt, the fresh tea is static relative to the transparent conveying belt, so that influence from external factors is small; and after being thrown out on the downstream of the transparent conveying belt, the bad tea is removed from the fresh tea, the operation track of the fresh tea is stable, and thus the sorting effect of the fresh tea can be guaranteed.
