Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a processing method of a flower roll tea and a product thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Qianliang tea belongs to a black tea product of aged aroma type, and its value is determined by the length of aging time. The longer the aging time is, the more valuable it is. Therefore, people do not consider how to improve the aroma during the production of Qianliang tea. For example, the production method of Qianliang tea disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101084771A, published on December 12, 2007, discloses a production method of Qianliang tea, which includes raw material screening, steaming, tight pressing, and drying. The feature is that after the raw material screening, the following steps are sequentially performed: blending, metering and bagging; and basket making and knotweed weaving are performed in advance or simultaneously. After the steaming, the following steps are sequentially performed: basket laying, basket loading, locking, bundling, airing, shaping, and flower hoop collecting. Then, the drying step is performed. For another example, the aged Qianliang tea for regulating the intestines and stomach and a preparation method thereof disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN105454526A, published on April 6, 2016, discloses that the raw materials include Yunnan large-leaf species, Taoyuan large-leaf species, Qimen leaf species, and Anhua Yuntaishan species, and the storage time is more than 10 years, preferably more than 15 years; and / or the storage time of the raw material black tea is 3-5 years. Although some existing technologies have a drying and aroma improving process during the production of tea raw materials, such as the production process of gold flower Qianliang tea (flower roll tea) disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101352191B, published on January 4, 2012, which discloses a production process including the following steps: picking standard → high-temperature fixation → rolling and shaping → pile fermentation → drying and aroma improvement → stem picking and screening → blending and pile fermentation → classification and metering → steam softening → moisture detection → tight pressing and shaping → initial inspection and entering the drying → gold flower cultivation → ventilation and drying. However, the aroma is mostly lost after the blending and pile fermentation before the pressing, and even if some aroma is retained, it is replaced by the aroma of fungus after the flower is cultivated. In order to shorten the aging period of Qianliang tea, the raw materials are generally aged for 2-3 years, and the aged raw materials no longer have their original aroma. The aroma improvement during the production of raw materials can improve the selling points of the black tea, and is also a common method for the preparation of traditional black tea, but it has little effect on improving the aroma of the tight-pressed tea which needs long-term aging.
[0003] Now, with the expansion of the consumer group of Qianliang tea, people who are used to drinking green tea, Tieguanyin tea, and Dahongpao tea think that Qianliang tea lacks the original aroma of tea. In order to meet the needs of people for the aroma of Qianliang tea, people remove the basket packaging of Qianliang tea products before putting them on the market and perform overall charcoal baking to improve the aroma, or saw the Qianliang tea into cakes and put them into the drying room to improve the aroma. This increases the high aroma of Qianliang tea, but reduces the softness of Qianliang tea. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to overcome the defects of the prior art, and discloses a preparation method of a fragrant Qianliang tea and a tea cake thereof, and a product thereof.
[0005] One of the technical solutions of the present application is that the fragrant Qianliang tea is characterized in that the raw materials are combined as follows: 60-90 parts of aged mountainous organic black tea, preferably 65-85 parts, 70-80 parts or 75 parts, and 10-40 parts of high-mountain and barren-mountain black tea produced in the current year, preferably 15-35 parts, 20-30 parts or 25 parts.
[0006] The second technical solution of the present application is a preparation method of the fragrant Qianliang tea, which is characterized in that the following steps are taken:
[0007] a. Raw material selection: sea level 300 m or above mountainous organic black tea is used to remove stems and impurities;
[0008] b. Raw material aging: the selected mountainous organic black tea is placed in an aging warehouse for aging, the air humidity in the aging warehouse is controlled to be 45-70%, the temperature is controlled to be 30°C or below, and the aging time is 1-2 years;
[0009] c. New tea preparation: sea level 600 m or above high-mountain and barren-mountain black tea produced in the current year is selected to remove stems and impurities;
[0010] d. Raw material flavoring: the aged mountainous organic black tea and the new tea without stems and impurities are respectively subjected to flavoring by using a flavoring device until the tea aroma is strong;
[0011] Further, the flavoring is performed by controlling the temperature to be 60-70°C for 2-3 hours, and then increasing the temperature to 75-85°C for 0.5-1 hour.
[0012] Further, the flavoring is performed by using a smokeless fire of Qixingzao.
[0013] e. Raw material combination: the flavored tea is combined by 60-90 parts of the aged mountainous organic black tea and 10-40 parts of the high-mountain and barren-mountain black tea produced in the current year;
[0014] d. Steam softening: the combined tea is steamed by using steam at 110-150°C until the tea is completely softened, and the tea is kneaded into a ball, and the water content is controlled to be 17-20%;
[0015] e. Basket packing and pressing: the steamed and softened tea is quantitatively poured into a Qianliang tea bamboo basket while hot, and then the basket is sealed and pressed into a cylindrical Qianliang tea column;
[0016] f.Drying: the tea column prepared by treading is placed in a drying shed with ventilation, light and rain prevention, and dried until the moisture content is 12-15%, and then stored in the warehouse after quality inspection.
[0017] The third technical solution of the present application is a preparation method of the fragrant Qianliang tea cake, which is characterized in that the fragrant Qianliang tea is sawn into tea cakes, and then dried by the method of shade drying or moisture extraction drying until the moisture content is less than 9%, preferably 5-8%, so that the taste is soft, the aroma is thick and long-lasting; if the moisture content is less than 5%, the softness of the taste is reduced; if the moisture content is more than 9%, the thickness and long-lastingness of the aroma are reduced.
[0018] Due to the above technical solution, the tea column can naturally emit the flower and fruit aroma of tea leaves, and the tea aroma is rich and full after slicing, and the aroma is long-lasting and does not decrease even after storage for many years; the product has a mellow and soft taste, a sweet and long-lasting taste, a fresh and active aroma, and a lingering aroma after drinking, which solves the problem that the traditional Qianliang tea only has aged aroma but no flower and fruit aroma of tea leaves, and the product can be directly marketed without storage, which adapts to the new concept of safe, green and fresh dark tea consumption; at the same time, the quality risk of long-term storage is avoided, the enterprise capital turnover is accelerated, and the economic benefit of the enterprise is improved.
