Method for making high-fermentation elder leaf black tea

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for making high-fermentation elder leaf black tea. The method comprises the following steps: taking elder leaves of Wuyi rock tea trees as raw materials, picking fresh leaves, performing secondary wilting, performing alternative operations on three-time rolling and three-time fermentation, drying and the like. According to the invention, the unique rolling and wilting process is adopted, so that the elder leaf cells are uniformly and fully destroyed, and due to long-term fermentation, lots of substances contained in the elder leaves are fully oxidized and transformed, chemical changes of principle polyphenols and subsidiary transformation and accumulation of substances such as free amino acids, theanine, polysaccharides and the like are formed, the sufficiency and uniformity of tea leaf fermentation are effectively guaranteed, and the color, aroma, taste and shape of the tea leaves are improved, so that the made elder leaf black tea is tight and uniform in strip, oily in color, orange red and bright in soup, similar to dry aroma of longan, mellow in taste and obvious in sweetness after drinking tea.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of black tea processing, and in particular relates to a method for making high-fermentation old-leaf black tea. Background technique [0002] Wuyi Mountain tea trees have been mainly used to make rock tea for a long time, and in the production process, tea greens with more than 4 leaves are generally used as the main raw material, and a large number of old leaves with less than 4 leaves are discarded. At the same time, the old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree contain a lot of beneficial substances. However, the traditional rock tea process (semi-fermentation process) for production cannot effectively release or oxidize the beneficial substances in the old leaves, resulting in low quality tea, etc. . [0003] Black tea is a kind of fully fermented tea. The present invention utilizes the old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree, adopts a full fermentation mode, and highly ferments the old leaves to effectively promote the release ...

At the same time, the old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree contain a lot of beneficial substances. However, the traditional rock tea process (semi-fermentation process) for production cannot effectively release or oxidize the beneficial substances in the old leaves, resulting in low quality tea, etc.

[0003] Black tea is a kind of fully fermented tea. The present invention utilizes the old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree, adopts a full fermentation mode, and highly ferments the old leaves to effectively promote the release of nutrients in the tea and improve the quality of the tea. However, there are few studies on the use of The research report on turning the old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree into black tea. Therefore, the method for making high-fermentation old-leaf black tea established by the present invention is of great significance for the development of old leaves of Wuyi rock tea tree and the improvement of tea quality.
