Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tea fermentation, in particular to a tea fermentation machine. Background Art

[0002] Tea is a finished product obtained by picking, processing, fermenting and other processes of the tender leaves and buds of the tea tree. It is widely used for brewing and drinking. Tea is not only a traditional drink, but also a cultural symbol of many countries and regions such as China, India, and Japan. There are many types of tea with different flavors. It can be divided into different categories such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, and dark tea. The types of tea are mainly classified according to the processing technology, fermentation degree and raw materials.

[0003] Tea fermentation refers to the process of enzymatic oxidation of tea to form dark substances such as theaflavins and thearubigins. Fermentation usually takes place in a special room where temperature and humidity can be controlled. There are many factors that affect fermentation, such as temperature, humidity and water content of leaves, etc. The difference between fermented tea and non-fermented tea lies in this point.

[0004] At present, when tea leaves are fermented, after reaching a certain temperature, they need to be constantly turned over. However, existing tea fermentation machines often do not have a turning function for tea leaves, so staff are required to turn the tea leaves manually. Opening the tea fermentation machine will destroy the temperature and humidity balance in the fermentation machine, thereby reducing the fermentation quality of the tea leaves.
