Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of eucommia tea, in particular to eucommia tea and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Eucommia ulmoides, as a precious traditional Chinese medicine with a long history, has been widely used in the medical field since it was recorded in Shennong's Herbal Classic. Its unique medicinal value of nourishing the liver and kidney, strengthening bones and tendons, and lowering blood pressure is recognized by the general public. Among them, Eucommia ulmoides tea produced with Eucommia ulmoides leaves as raw materials does not contain theophylline and caffeine, but is rich in active ingredients such as aucubin and geniposide, and has high drinking value. Regular drinking of Eucommia ulmoides tea can effectively reduce high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and can also cleanse the intestines and detoxify, with extremely high medical and health care effects.

[0003] At present, the preparation method of existing Eucommia tea and series of beverages generally adopts the traditional green tea withering and frying process, and is made by rolling, drying and heating. This type of Eucommia tea mainly has the following two important problems: 1) First, the active ingredients of Eucommia leaves cannot be fully dissolved in water when brewing, and the utilization rate of active ingredients is not high, which makes it difficult to achieve the ideal health care effect; 2) Eucommia leaves themselves have grassy smell and astringency that are difficult to remove, which affects the taste of Eucommia tea; and the tea soup formed is dark and dim, which greatly reduces the desire of consumers to taste tea. In the pursuit of the tea market with good color, fragrance and taste, this is undoubtedly a major shortcoming of Eucommia tea products. The existence of the above problems not only reduces the market competitiveness of Eucommia tea products, but also limits the further promotion and application of Eucommia tea and related Eucommia leaf beverage industries. Therefore, how to solve the problems of low utilization rate of active ingredients, poor taste and dim color of tea soup while retaining the unique flavor of Eucommia tea has become a problem that the current Eucommia tea industry needs to overcome.

[0013] Furthermore, the pretreated Eucommia leaf powder is added into water for vacuum distillation extraction to obtain an extract, which comprises the following process:

[0014] The pretreated eucommia leaf powder is added into water accounting for 5 to 10 times the weight of the eucommia leaf powder and mixed to obtain a mixed liquid;

[0015] Under the conditions of a temperature of 42° C. to 48° C. and a pressure of 3 to 7 KPa, the mixed liquid is subjected to a first reduced pressure distillation extraction, and when the volume of the distillate is half the volume of the initial amount of water added, the distillation is stopped to obtain a first distillate and a remaining liquid;

[0016] Adding the same volume of water as the first distillate to the remaining liquid, and then performing a second distillation extraction at a temperature of 59° C. to 64° C. and a pressure of 14 to 18 KPa, and stopping the distillation when the volume of the distillate is half the volume of the initial water added to obtain the first distillate;

[0017] The first distillate and the second distillate are combined to obtain the extract.

[0018] Furthermore, the working condition parameters of the first vacuum distillation extraction include: temperature of 46° C. and pressure of 5 KPa.

[0022] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a eucommia tea, which is prepared by the preparation method of the eucommia tea described in any one of the first aspects.
