Massive tea pressing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a massive tea pressing method, comprising the following steps: humidifying and softening raw material tea; pressing the humidified and softened raw material tea by virtue of a massive tea pressing mold to form massive tea; taking out the pressed and formed massive tea from the massive tea pressing mold; and drying and shaping the taken massive tea to obtain a massive tea product, wherein the massive tea pressing mold comprises a lower mold, a middle mold, an upper mold and a clutch device; a plurality of lower massive tea molding grooves are formed in the lower mold; the middle mold is arranged above the lower mold; a plurality of packing holes which correspond to the plurality of lower massive tea molding grooves are formed in the middle mold; the upper mold is arranged above the middle mold; a plurality of pressing rods which correspond to the plurality of packing holes one by one are formed in the upper mold; and the clutch device is used for respectively separating the middle mold from the lower mold or the upper mold or combining the middle mold with the lower mold or the upper mold. The massive tea pressing method disclosed by the invention is convenient to operate; the pressed massive tea is compact, free of a rupture, and easy to demold; and the original shape of the raw material tea can be kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for molding tea leaves into balls, in particular to a method for pressing tea balls. Background technique [0002] At present, in order to facilitate transportation and storage, most of the tea leaves on the market are processed and pressed into lumps by special pressing equipment. However, most of the existing pressing equipment adopts manual or semi-mechanical methods, which is inconvenient to operate, difficult to control the pressing pressure, and has the following defects: During the tea pressing process, the raw tea is easily damaged due to excessive pressure, causing the tea juice in the tea to spill out and be lost; during the tea pressing process, due to the low pressure, the pressed lump tea is not firm enough, not only the tea leaves on the surface of the lump tea and External contact will absorb moisture and odor, and the tea leaves inside the lump tea will also absorb moisture and absorb odor due to the fl...
