Preparation method of low-caffeine instant black tea

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of deep processing of tea leaves, in particular to a preparation method of low-caffeine instant black tea. The method comprises the following steps: 1) blending at least two kinds of black tea leaves in proportion; 2) putting the blended tea leaves into an extraction tank, adding water for primary extraction and removing tea water, and then adding waterfor secondary extraction to obtain tea water after secondary extraction; 3) performing centrifugal filtration on the tea water after secondary extraction to obtain clear tea water; 4) concentrating the clear tea water; 5) heating the concentrated tea water to a reaction temperature, then adding a processing aid, and carrying out a decomposition reaction to reduce the content of caffeine; and 6) after the reaction is finished, performing sterilizing and drying to obtain the low-caffeine instant black tea. According to the preparation method of the low-caffeine instant black tea, the decomposition reaction is carried out by adding the proper processing aid, so that the content of caffeine in the black tea can be effectively reduced, the loss of functional components of the black tea can bereduced, harmful residues are avoided, and thereby the preparation method has the advantages of simple equipment, simple and convenient steps, low production cost and easiness in popularization.
