Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tea tree planting and management, and in particular to a tea tree planting and management method for improving tea quality. Background Art

[0002] Based on the differences in appearance and color of tea, it is divided into six major categories: green tea, white tea, black tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, and dark tea; based on the degree of fermentation, tea is divided into non-fermented tea, slightly fermented tea, lightly fermented tea, semi-fermented tea, fully fermented tea, and post-fermented tea; based on the shape of the tea, it is divided into brick tea, bundled tea, secondary tea, loose tea, cake tea, etc. However, no matter how tea is classified, the quality of the leaves produced by the tea tree is directly related to the quality of the final tea.

[0003] The existing quality classification of tea is mostly determined by the flavor evaluation of tea. However, the flavor of tea leaves of different tenderness picked at different times varies greatly, such as single bud, one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, etc., and the evaluation is highly subjective. Therefore, for tea, the detection of physical and chemical properties, such as the content of tea polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine, water extracts, etc., can obtain relatively stable evaluation standards. Generally speaking, the higher the content of effective ingredients in tea, the better its quality. Generally speaking, during the tea tree planting process, the same tea trees from different origins and different growth environments will produce different tea qualities. In order to improve the economic benefits of tea planting, optimizing the planting method of tea trees is an important research direction of tea tree planting at this stage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a tea tree planting and management method for improving the quality of tea, increasing the content of effective ingredients in tea, and increasing the weight of 100 buds, thereby achieving a certain degree of high yield while improving the quality of tea, and increasing the economic benefits of tea tree planting.

Spray the top of the tea tree with a protective agent 1-2 weeks after pruning, and spray again after 15-30 days; S5. Apply foliar fertilizer once at the end of January of the following year and 10-15 days before tea picking; The black bean fermentation extract is prepared by steaming black beans and then fermenting them with Bacillus Velezii and Bacillus cereus.

[0006] Preferably, the composite trace elements in step S2 are obtained by mixing iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron and molybdenum in a mass ratio of 4:2:1:1:0.05.

[0007] Preferably, the time for pruning the tea trees in step S3 is mid-to-late November of the current year, and the pruning is carried out in the evening on a cloudy day.

[0022] 2.4. Fertilizer: Fertilizer: a mixture of decomposed sheep manure and urea in a mass ratio of 11:1.

[0023] 3. Management experiment: On November 15, 2024, the tea trees in each planting area were fertilized once, with 15g of fertilizer applied to each tree; on the evening of November 20, the tops of the tea trees were pruned flush (cut off 3-5cm), and the pruned branches and leaves were selected to be retained at the crown of the tea tree (such as Figure 1 On November 30, the protective agent was sprayed on the top of the tea trees (40 mL / plant); on December 22, the protective agent was sprayed on the top of the tea trees again (20 mL / plant); On January 22, 2025, tea trees in each planting area were fertilized once, with 10g of fertilizer applied to each tree. Then, on January 25, the tea trees were sprayed with foliar fertilizer, with the sprayer controlled to spray from the upper and lower ends so that both ends of the tea leaves could be exposed to the foliar fertilizer (80mL / plant). On February 25, the tea trees were sprayed with foliar fertilizer again (80mL / plant). During the entire planting experiment, each planting area was not affected by tea tree diseases and pests, and the daily management was the same.

[0024] The selection of protective agents and foliar fertilizers for each planting area is shown in Table 1: Table 1

[0025] 4. Tea picking: The first spring tea picking will be carried out on March 12, 2025, and the picking will be carried out according to single bud, one bud and one leaf, and one bud and two leaves.

[0026] Tea leaves of single bud, one bud and one leaf, and one bud and two leaves are prepared in each planting area. The specific preparation process is as follows: Fixing: Use continuous drum fixing machine for fixing (drum wall temperature is 250℃, outlet temperature is 80℃, fixing time is 2min); Rolling: Use 6CR-45 rolling machine, follow the principle of "light-heavy-light" when rolling, and roll until the tea juice adheres to the leaf surface and the tea leaves are tightly bound. After rolling, the leaves are dried in a dryer. The hot air temperature of the dryer is 110℃, the thickness of the leaves is 2-3cm, the drying time is 10 minutes, and then they are spread to cool. Shaping: Place the cooled tea leaves in a tea straightening machine at 90°C for 5 minutes. Drying: Place the sorted tea leaves in an aroma machine, control the temperature at 65°C, and process for 70 minutes to obtain green tea.

[0027] 5. Tea testing: 5.1. The 100-bud weight (fresh weight) of single buds, one bud and one leaf, and one bud and two leaves picked from each planting area was tested. The specific results are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2

[0028] It can be seen from Table 2 above that the overall 100-bud weight of single bud, one bud and one leaf, and one bud and two leaves picked from planting areas 1 and 2 is the best, which means that the new tea buds in planting areas 1 and 2 have the best growth.

[0029] 5.2. Physical and chemical properties of green tea prepared from one bud and two leaves picked from each growing area were tested: Determination of water extractables: refer to GB / T 8305-2013 standard; Determination of free amino acids: refer to GB / T 8314-2013 standard; Caffeine determination: refer to GB / T 8312-2013 standard; Determination of tea polyphenols: refer to GB / T 8313-2018 standard; Catechin component determination: High performance liquid chromatography was used in accordance with GB / T 8313-2018 (epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant component of catechins and is considered to be the main antioxidant active substance in green tea, so it is calculated based on the EGCG content). Specific results are shown in Table 3 below: Table 3

[0030] As can be seen from Table 3 above, there is little difference in the contents of tea water extract and tea polyphenols in several planting areas. The contents of free amino acids and EGCG in the tea leaves of planting areas 1 and 2 are relatively high. In addition, the caffeine content in planting areas 1 and 2 is relatively low. Caffeine is the main component of purine bases in tea and is also the main flavor substance that makes tea soup bitter. Therefore, the tea leaves of planting areas 1 and 2 have lower bitterness.

[0031] 5.3 Sensory evaluation: Sensory evaluation of green tea harvested and processed in each of the above-mentioned planting areas was conducted (according to GB / T 23776-2018 "Tea Sensory Evaluation Method"). Specific scoring is available in on-site photos. Figure 3-5 The total score is calculated based on the appearance score of 25 points, the soup color score of 10 points, the aroma score of 25 points, the taste score of 30 points, and the leaf bottom score of 10 points. The specific results are shown in Table 4 below: Table 4

[0032] As can be seen from the above table, the sensory evaluation scores of tea leaves after processing obtained in planting areas 1 and 2 were the highest.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
