Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to black tea production, and in particular to a production process of rose black tea. Background Art
[0002] Black tea is favored by consumers for its unique aroma. Black tea is made from suitable new leaves of tea trees through a series of processes such as withering, rolling (cutting), fermentation, and drying. Withering is an important process in the initial processing of black tea. Black tea is named because the tea soup and leaf background after the dry tea is brewed are red. During the processing of black tea, a chemical reaction centered on the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols occurs. The chemical composition in the fresh leaves changes greatly, and the tea polyphenols are reduced by more than 90%. New ingredients such as theaflavins and thearubigins are produced. The aroma substances are significantly increased compared with fresh leaves. Therefore, black tea has the characteristics of black tea, red soup, red leaves, and sweet and mellow taste. Rose contains more than 300 chemical components, such as phenylethyl alcohol, geraniol, nerol, vanillin and nonanal. Regular consumption of rose products can soften the liver and wake up the stomach, soothe the qi and activate blood circulation, beautify the skin, and make people feel refreshed. Transferring all the fragrance and ingredients in roses to black tea can make rose black tea have the fragrance, function and taste of both tea and rose. It is of great significance to find a preparation process that can prepare fragrant and delicious rose black tea.
[0003] At present, most of the rose black tea on the market is made by a simple mixing process, and the taste produced is often unsatisfactory. Therefore, a new and better production method is needed. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, and provide a production process of rose black tea.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions: A rose black tea production process, comprising: Rose pretreatment: picking and petal separation; Rose essential oil extraction: Take some rose flowers to extract essential oil; Black tea slab pretreatment and drying; Two smells and one mention: First scenting: tea, flower, and rose essential oil blend; Heat dissipation through the flower pattern; Wet billet re-fire; Remove the flowers and dregs; Secondary scenting: Mix tea, flowers, rose essential oil, and distilled water; Heat dissipation through the flower pattern; Wet billet re-fire; Remove the flowers and dregs; Jacquard; Vacuum seal and store at low temperature.
[0006] Furthermore, the specific conditions for picking flowers in step (1) are: deciduous shrubs, stems densely covered with sharp thorns, pinnate compound leaves, 5-9 leaflets, elliptical to obovate, with wrinkles on the surface, blooming in summer, solitary flowers, purple to white, with a strong fragrance; picking time is morning or evening.
[0007] Furthermore, the specific operation of separating the petals in step (1) is as follows: after the rose flowers are picked, they are properly cleaned, spread out, and the petals are folded, and the pedicels and stamens are picked out.
[0008] Furthermore, the specific operations of extracting rose essential oil in step (2) are as follows: washing, placing the picked petals in a basin, adding an appropriate amount of clean water, gently rubbing the petals with hands to remove impurities and dirt on the surface, and then placing the petals in a filter to drain the water; grinding, placing the cleaned petals in a mortar and crushing them into a mud with a mortar and pestle; separating, placing the ground rose petal mud in a steam distiller, adding an appropriate amount of distilled water, and when the water vapor passes through the rose petals, the aromatic substances and essential oil therein will be brought out; extracting, after steam distillation, the obtained substance contains rose essential oil and water, which can be placed in a separation funnel to allow the essential oil and water to naturally separate, and the pure rose essential oil on the upper layer is taken out.
[0009] Furthermore, the specific operations of pre-treatment and drying of black tea leaves in step (4) are as follows: picking, selecting tender leaves and open buds as raw materials; withering, the temperature during withering should not be too high, the ambient temperature is about 30°C, the time should not be too long, generally 1.5 to 2 hours, and the characteristics of moderate withering are: dark green leaf color, obvious aroma, and a water content of about 60%; rolling, putting the cooled tea leaves into a rolling machine for rolling, the purpose of rolling is to destroy the cell wall, promote the contact between the internal juice and the enzyme, and prepare for the subsequent oxidation fermentation; fermentation, placing the rolled tea leaves in a ventilated and humid place for fermentation. The fermentation time varies according to different regions and requirements, generally from several hours to more than half a day. During this process, the color and taste of the tea leaves will gradually change; drying: the fermented tea leaves need to be dried to stop the fermentation process of the tea leaves. Traditional charcoal fire and modern machines can be used for drying. When drying with charcoal fire, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the heat and temperature to ensure that the tea leaves are dried evenly and have a beautiful color.
[0010] Furthermore, the specific operation of the first scenting in step (4) is as follows: stack the tea leaves and flowers up and down to form three layers, spray a thin layer of rose essential oil on each layer, the scenting temperature is 38°C-40°C, the humidity is 70%-80%, and the time is generally 6-8 hours; then cool and let stand, reheat at room temperature to remove moisture, and remove the flowers and residues after the water content of the tea leaves drops to 5%.
[0011] Furthermore, the specific operation of the second scenting in step (4) is as follows: stack the tea leaves and flowers up and down to form three layers, and spray each layer with a thin layer of rose essential oil and a thin layer of distilled water. The distilled water can appropriately increase the water content of the tea leaves, which is beneficial to the absorption of the tea aroma. At the same time, it can prolong the activity of the fresh flowers and improve the ability to emit fragrance. The scenting temperature is 38°C-40°C, the humidity is 70%-80%, and the time is generally 6-8 hours; then the tea leaves are cooled and allowed to stand, and the tea leaves are heated again to remove moisture at room temperature. After the water content of the tea leaves drops to 5%, the flowers are removed and the residues are removed.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The rose black tea is prepared by mixing rose essential oil, rose petals and zinc-selenium black tea, which increases the aroma emission and is more conducive to the black tea absorbing aroma.
[0013] The invention proposes a rose picking environment and conditions, and adopts Pingyin roses, which have the effects of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and resisting fatigue, and mixes zinc-selenium black tea with the effects of absorbing heavy metals, delaying aging, and anti-inflammatory and sterilizing to make rose black tea, which is very beneficial to human health. The invention adopts a two-scenting-one-lifting scenting method to ensure that the black tea can absorb sufficient aroma. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
