Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of scented tea technology, specifically to a dynamic continuous scenting and drying method and equipment for scented tea. Background Technology

[0002] Scenting is the process by which tea absorbs the fragrance of flowers. Fresh flowers continuously release their aroma, which, through the interaction of air and moisture, gradually permeates the tea leaves, enhancing their fragrance. The traditional scenting method involves pre-treating the tea leaves and fresh flowers, mixing them in a specific ratio, piling them together, and allowing them to settle for scenting. During the scenting process, ventilation and heat dissipation are maintained. After scenting, the flowers are removed and dried, or left to remain dry. Repeated scenting processes can achieve continuous fragrance absorption, increasing the intensity of the tea's aroma. However, this traditional method involves direct contact between the tea and flowers. Because fresh flowers often contain high levels of pesticide residues, prolonged contact with the tea leaves during scenting can cause these pesticides to migrate into the tea. Repeated scenting processes further increase the risk of pesticide residue exceeding safe levels. Therefore, developing a scenting method that prevents pesticide residue migration from fresh flowers into the tea leaves is a pressing technical challenge for the industry.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, developing a separate scenting process is a novel approach to prevent pesticide residues from flowers from migrating into the tea leaves. Existing technologies employ multi-layered mesh bags made with hydrophobic and breathable membranes. One layer of the bag is filled with tea leaves, and another with fresh flowers. The tea and flower layers are scented separately through airflow circulation. However, in these methods, the hydrophobic and breathable membrane is in close contact with both the tea leaves and flowers, making it difficult to completely prevent pesticide residues from migrating from the flowers into the tea. To completely prevent pesticide residues from migrating from the flowers into the tea, existing technologies also involve placing the tea leaves and flowers separately in breathable tea boxes, then layering them on a shelf, and finally placing the shelf in a sealed container, using airflow circulation for separate scenting. This method completely separates the tea leaves and flowers, effectively preventing pesticides from the flowers from migrating into the tea. However, after complete separation, the aroma of the flowers can only be carried to the tea leaves through circulating airflow; the fragrant air only affects the surface of the tea leaves, and the aroma does not permeate the interior. The above methods result in low utilization of fresh flowers; the tea leaves not only absorb fragrance slowly and have a long scenting time, but also have insufficient contact, resulting in poor aroma; consequently, the processed flower tea has poor brewing endurance and is less transparent. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the method of separating the tea leaves and fresh flowers into a breathable tea box, then placing them in layers on a shelf, and then placing the shelf in a sealed container to achieve separate scenting through air circulation. This method results in low utilization of fresh flowers, slow absorption of fragrance by the tea leaves, long scenting time, insufficient contact, and poor aroma of the tea. Consequently, the processed flower tea has poor brewing endurance and lacks transparency.

[0010] The process involves a cyclical rotational scenting of the tea leaves and flower buds, a tower-style rotating tea distribution, and a tower-style rotating flower distribution.

[0047] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] like Figure 1 One specific implementation of the dynamic continuous scenting and drying method for flower tea shown includes the following steps:

[0049] S1. The tea leaves and flower buds are fed separately using a vibration method. Specifically, the tea leaves are roasted green tea, pan-fried green tea, oolong tea, black tea, white tea, or dark tea, with roasted green tea and pan-fried green tea being the main types. The flower buds are jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus, bitter orange blossom, or gardenia, or any combination of the above. The speed of flower and tea spreading, as well as the stop time, are adjusted by changing the vibration frequency and duration.

[0050] S2. The tea leaves after feeding are evenly distributed in a tower-like rotating manner; the buds after feeding are also evenly distributed in a tower-like rotating manner, with the buds and tea leaves spaced vertically, the buds on the lower layer and the tea leaves on the upper layer. Specifically, the vertical distance between the tea leaves and the buds in the tower-like rotating tea distribution is 30mm to 50mm. The thickness of the tea leaf layer in the tower-like rotating tea distribution is 10mm to 80mm. When the buds are buds yet to open, the thickness of the bud layer in the tower-like rotating flower distribution is 10mm to 30mm; when the buds include open buds, the proportion of open buds is 20% to 50%, and the thickness of the bud layer in the tower-like rotating flower distribution is 15mm to 45mm. The time for both the tower-like rotating tea distribution and the tower-like rotating flower distribution is 2min to 4min. The thickness of the layer is controlled by adjusting the conveyor speed of the tower rotation.

[0051] S3. Dynamically rotate and scent the prepared tea leaves and flower buds; further, while dynamically rotating and scenting the prepared tea leaves and flower buds, turn and mix the tea leaves and flower buds separately. Specifically, the rotation speed of the dynamic rotation and scenting is 5mm / s to 10mm / s, and the dynamic rotation and scenting time is 2h to 4h.

[0052] S4. After the tea leaves and flower buds have been scented, they are arranged in a tower-like rotating pattern for tea and flower arrangement, respectively.

[0053] S5. Cyclicly execute the dynamic rotating scenting of tea leaves and flower buds, the tower-shaped rotating tea arrangement, and the tower-shaped rotating flower arrangement; that is, cyclically execute steps S3 and S4. One arrangement of flower buds can be repeated 6 to 10 times, and the fragrance release time of the flower buds can be extended to more than 24 hours.

[0054] S6. Periodically sample the tea leaves and evaluate their quality to ensure they meet standards. If the tea leaves meet the quality standards, separate the tea leaves and flower buds for further processing. The flower buds are disposed of for other purposes, and the processing of the tea leaves proceeds to step S7. If the tea leaves do not meet the quality standards, continue the cycle of dynamic rotating scenting, tower-style rotating tea arrangement, and tower-style rotating flower arrangement. The quality includes the aroma intensity of the tea leaves.

[0055] S7. Dehumidify and dry the tea leaves after they have been arranged. Specifically, the temperature for dehumidifying and drying the tea leaves after they have been arranged is 40℃~60℃, the air humidity for dehumidifying and drying the tea leaves after they have been arranged is 10%~20%, the time for dehumidifying and drying the tea leaves after they have been arranged is 0.5h~1h, and the moisture content of the tea leaves after dehumidification and drying is below 7.5%.

[0056] S8. Pack the dehumidified and dried tea leaves.

[0057] Furthermore, flower buds are sampled periodically. When the quality of the buds is deemed unsuitable for dynamic rotary scenting, the buds are discharged, and new buds are fed in using a vibration method. The purpose of these operations is to adjust the scenting process based on the fragrance release status of the buds, thereby achieving continuous scenting.

[0058] like Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment of the dynamic continuous scenting and drying method for flower tea includes: a first vibrating feeder 3, a second vibrating feeder 4, a rotary tower conveyor structure 2, a circulating conveyor line 5, and a split-discharge device 6.

[0059] The first vibrating feeder 3 is suitable for feeding tea leaves using vibration; the second vibrating feeder 4 is suitable for feeding flower buds using vibration. Simultaneously, the tea leaves and flower buds are turned over. The rotating tower conveyor structure 2 is connected to both the first vibrating feeder 3 and the second vibrating feeder 4; the rotating tower conveyor structure 2, combined with the first vibrating feeder 3, is suitable for uniformly rotating and distributing the fed tea leaves from the top to the bottom at a medium speed; the rotating tower conveyor structure 2, combined with the second vibrating feeder 4, is suitable for uniformly rotating and distributing the fed flower buds from the top to the bottom at a medium speed; the rotating tower conveyor structure 2 is also suitable for dynamically rotating and scenting the distributed flower buds and tea leaves at a low speed. The circulating conveyor line 5 is connected to the rotary tower conveyor structure 2, the first vibrating feeder 3, and the second vibrating feeder 4. The circulating conveyor line 5 is adapted to transport the tea leaves and flower buds output from the rotary tower conveyor structure 2 to the first vibrating feeder 3 and the second vibrating feeder 4 respectively, so as to re-perform the tower-style rotating tea and flower distribution. Furthermore, a turning structure is provided on the circulating conveyor belt from the top to the bottom of the rotary tower conveyor structure 2; the turning structure is adapted to turn the mixed tea leaves and flower buds respectively. The split-discharge device 6 is connected to the circulating conveyor line 5, and the split-discharge device 6 is adapted to discharge the tea leaves and flower buds conveyed by the circulating conveyor line 5 separately.

[0060] Specifically, the height of each layer of the rotating tower conveyor structure 2 is 80mm to 100mm; each layer of the rotating tower conveyor structure 2 is equipped with partitions, the height of which is 60mm to 80mm. Both the rotating tower conveyor structure 2 and the circulating conveyor line 5 are located inside the control chamber 1; the control chamber 1 is suitable for controlling the temperature, humidity, and fresh air volume during dynamic rotating control to obtain a suitable control environment. Fresh air can be provided through a fresh air system to replenish oxygen. Specifically, the environmental parameters inside the control chamber 1 are set as follows: ambient temperature: 28℃ to 35℃; ambient humidity: 60% to 80%. The fresh air control parameters are as follows: fresh air is exchanged every 30min to 45min, each fresh air exchange lasts 5min to 10min, and the fresh air flow rate is 1L / min to 3L / min.

[0061] Both the first vibrating feeder 3 and the second vibrating feeder 4 are vibrating hoppers. The circulating conveyor line 5 can be a circulating conveyor belt. The spreading speed and stopping time are adjusted by adjusting the vibration frequency and vibration time of the first vibrating feeder 3; the spreading speed and stopping time are adjusted by adjusting the vibration frequency and vibration time of the second vibrating feeder 4. The spreading thickness is controlled by adjusting the conveying speed of the rotating tower conveyor structure 2.
