White tea processing technology

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of tea processing and specifically discloses a white tea processing technology. The white tea processing technology comprises the following processing steps: 1) picking; 2) screening; 3) wilting: spreading tea, controlling the thickness to be 1.5-2cm, and controlling the wilting water loss rate to be 32-38%; 4) rolling: preparing a sponge ball having the diameter of 0.2-0.5cm, and embedding quartz having the particle size of 0.12-0.25cm into the sponge ball; heating the sponge ball to 58-65 DEG C; adding the heated sponge ball and the tea treated inthe step 3) into a rolling machine, wherein the mass fraction ratio of the sponge ball to the tea is controlled to be 1:(1.5-3); controlling the rolling rotation speed to be 26-32 r/min, rolling for4-6 minutes, and performing pressure-free rolling; 5) drying: drying the tea treated in the step 4) in a drying machine, controlling the temperature to be 90-96 DEG C for 6-10 minutes; spreading for cooling for 12-16 minutes after drying completion, and after-baking at an after-baking temperature of 80-88 DEG C. The white tea prepared according to the technology disclosed in the invention has thefixed shape and is strong and persistent in pekoe flavor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tea processing, and in particular relates to a white tea processing technology. Background technique [0002] White tea is one of the six major teas in my country. It is a slightly fermented tea.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The traditional white tea production method is unique, including the following steps: picking-withering-drying, no frying or kneading, mainly through two processes of withering and drying. Although the white tea made by the traditional method has a fragrance, it also has a green smell. The fragrance is not strong enough, long-lasting, low-flavored

Moreover, because there is no rolling process in the production process of white tea, the shape is very loose. Under the same weight, the volume is 2 to 4 times that of other teas, and the storage and transportation costs are also doubled accordingly, which is not conducive to consumers' traveling. The competitive advantage of the white tea market has been greatly weakened

In order to solve the above problems, there is also a rolling process in the preparation of white tea. The rolling technique used is not much different from the existing process. It is easy to over-twist the white tea, which greatly loses the original flavor of the white tea.
