Problems solved by technology

This situation, combined with the tendency to control fermentation, has led to the problem of only obtaining oolong teas that are aromatic but very bland
That is to say, there are the following problems. The first crop tea in spring has a strong taste and good aroma, while the tea from the end of May to July (called summer tea or summer tea) is the second crop tea, the third crop tea, or even the fourth crop tea, Five crops of tea, in this order, the astringency gradually becomes stronger and the taste becomes weaker, and these teas become low-value teas

Embodiment 1

[0029] (1) In the tea garden of Longjuan Town, Anxi County, the experiment was carried out from July 20th to July 31st using tea trees for oolong tea. Before the predicted picking date, the cultivated tea plants were covered with thin muslin cloth with shading rate of 40, 60 or 80% for 15 days, 10 days, 5 days or 0 days, and the taste of the picked tea leaves was compared with the control with shading rate of 0%. The comparison was performed by sensory evaluation by 3 experts. When the shading rate is 60% and 80%, the shading treatment for 5 to 15 days can significantly improve the flavor of the tea. More than 80% shading cannot be implemented because it will cause sunburn after canceling the shading. Table 1 shows the results of improving the taste of the tea leaves obtained in the case of a shading rate of 80%. In Table 1, "slightly thicker" means that there is some effect, "thicker" means that there is an effect, and an empty column means that there is no difference from ...

Embodiment 2

[0046] Adopt the tea tree identical with embodiment 1, between September 16~September 30, process 5 days, 10 days or 15 days with shading rate 40%, 60%, 80%, evaluate similarly with embodiment 1 and obtain The taste of the tea. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0047] table 5

[0048]

[0049] The analysis of theanine, an amino acid, was performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and the same results were obtained. The results are shown in Table 6. Amino acids such as theanine also show obvious effects under 80% shading conditions, and show the same trend as 80% under 60% shading conditions, and 60% shading conditions can fully produce effects within 5 days. (80% result is as known according to embodiment 1 table 1, 2, amino acids such as theanine more than 60% content, this point has been made clear, so omit. 5 days occasion, subject period and place influence, but think that it is more effective than 40% shading.)

Embodiment 3

[0054] For the purpose of developing a new type of oolong tea beverage, prepare a theanine-rich tea extract with a theanine content of 5 mg / 100 ml or more as a result of the analysis in the above examples, and an amount of polymerized catechins relative to the total amount of catechins is 50% or more tea extract rich in polymerized catechins.

[0055] Here, the theanine-rich tea extract is an extract of unfermented tea leaves. The reason for extracting from unfermented tea leaves is that tea leaves with a lot of theanine do not work even if they are fermented with hydrolytic enzymes, so it is difficult to release aroma, and if polymerized catechins are produced by fermentation, the meaning of producing theanine is also meaningless. weakened. Theanine has a mellow feeling, and polymerized catechin has a mellow feeling, so the two feel different. If there is more theanine, it will become a soft fragrance, while if there is more polymerized catechin, it will become a harsh frag...

Abstract

The present invention provides one kind of tea with great amount of flavoring components, especially theanine, and new type of oolong beverage with the tea. Within 20 days before tea is picked up, the tea tree is shaded with ventilating covering of 60-95 % shading rate for 5-20 days, and the picked tea is semi-fermented or fermented completely, so as to obtain tea with great amount of flavoring components, especially theanine. The extract of the tea and the extract of fermented tea with over 50 % catechin forming polymer are mixed to obtain new type of oolong beverage possessing rich tea taste, light scent and less astringent taste.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fermented or semi-fermented tea leaves with enhanced taste and a manufacturing method thereof, as well as an oolong tea drink with strong taste and aroma produced by using the tea extract of the tea leaves as a part of raw materials, and a manufacturing method of the drink. Background technique [0002] Oolong tea originated from semi-fermented tea produced in Fujian Province, eastern Guangdong Province of China, and Taiwan. There are various types ranging from the type close to non-fermented green tea to the fully fermented type close to black tea. [0003] In warm regions, such as southern China, oolong tea leaves are picked 4 to 5 times a year. Among them, the first stubble tea in spring after winter dormancy has accumulated nutrients, and its aroma and taste are high, and it is highly rated. However, when it comes to the second crop of tea and the third crop of tea, due to the rising temperature and stronger sunligh...
