Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tea production, and in particular relates to a semi-underground tea withering method. Background Art

[0002] The water content of freshly picked tea leaves is generally 73-78%. The leaves are hard and brittle, which makes it difficult to roll and shape the tea leaves into a good shape. Withering is to reduce the water content of fresh leaves, so as to promote the slow and orderly changes in the appearance and contents of tea leaves, thus laying a good foundation for improving the quality of tea. The different degrees of withering have a great impact on the subsequent processes and the quality of tea making. When the withering is insufficient, the withered leaves have high water content and poor plasticity. They are easy to break when rolled and even lose tea juice; when the withering is excessive, the leaves have low water content, dry and hard leaves, low viscosity, and are difficult to form strips when rolled. The withering process is different from the nature of direct sun drying. Fresh leaves must maintain physiological activity to allow the enzymes in the fresh leaves to drive the transformation of various components, so that the color, aroma and taste of tea can be formed. The longer the withering time, the stronger the aroma of the tea, and vice versa. However, at present, most tea processing companies use indoor cooling during the withering process. The temperature and humidity are somewhat different from the natural environment, which is not conducive to the biochemical activity of the leaves, thereby reducing the processing quality of fresh leaves. For this reason, we propose a semi-underground tea withering method. Summary of the invention

[0030] The semi-underground tea withering method of the present invention improves the tea withering method. By setting the withering site in a pine forest with good shade, the naturalness of the withering environment is maintained. In the pine flower blooming season, the pine pollen diffused in the air naturally floats onto the tea leaves, thereby improving the fragrance and nutritional quality of the tea leaves. The pine needle shade shed built in the withering site has an enhanced shielding effect, can shelter from rain and sun, and can be used in both sunny and rainy days. The withering pool adopts a semi-underground type and has a water layer to regulate the air humidity. The operation is simple. The optimal physiological ecology of the tea leaves in the withering process is maintained through the underground humid environment. In addition, in a place below the ground, It avoids the harassment of strong winds on the ground; the cooling mat is made of cloth with good air permeability and good water absorption, and is made of natural materials. During operation, the cloth is in the best state of "moist but not wet, dry but not dry", which is conducive to the slow dissipation of moisture from fresh leaves; this "four-dimensional" withering ecological construction of "cultivating forest + leaf shade shed + semi-underground withering pool + cloth cooling mat" maintains the coordination of temperature, humidity, light, airflow and other aspects of fresh leaves during the dehydration process to the greatest extent, so that fresh leaves can complete various physiological activities in an artificial environment as close to the original ecology as possible, realize the transformation of nutrients, and enhance the color, fragrance and taste of tea. The present invention runs through the ecological concept throughout the whole process, and the processing quality of tea is greatly improved. It plays a very important role in improving the product competitiveness of tea processing enterprises, and has high market application value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0111] Principles and advantages of the present invention:

[0112] The semi-underground tea withering method of the present invention improves the tea withering method. By setting the withering site in a pine forest with good shade, the naturalness of the withering environment is maintained. In the pine flower blooming season, the pine pollen diffused in the air naturally floats onto the tea leaves, thereby improving the fragrance and nutritional quality of the tea leaves. The pine needle shade shed built in the withering site has an enhanced shielding effect, can shelter from rain and sun, and can be used in both sunny and rainy days. The withering pool adopts a semi-underground type and has a water layer to regulate the air humidity. The operation is simple. The optimal physiological ecology of the tea leaves in the withering process is maintained through the underground humid environment. In addition, in a place below the ground, It avoids the harassment of strong winds on the ground; the cooling mat is made of cloth with good air permeability and good water absorption, and is made of natural materials. During operation, the cloth is in the best state of "moist but not wet, dry but not dry", which is conducive to the slow dissipation of moisture from fresh leaves; this "four-dimensional" withering ecological construction of "cultivating forest + leaf shade shed + semi-underground withering pool + cloth cooling mat" maintains the coordination of temperature, humidity, light, airflow and other aspects of fresh leaves during the dehydration process to the greatest extent, so that fresh leaves can complete various physiological activities in an artificial environment as close to the original ecology as possible, realize the transformation of nutrients, and enhance the color, fragrance and taste of tea. The present invention runs through the ecological concept throughout the whole process, and the processing quality of tea is greatly improved. It plays a very important role in improving the product competitiveness of tea processing enterprises, and has high market application value.

[0113] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
