[0002] In the process of white tea processing, how to effectively control the withering and drying processes of fresh leaves to retain the natural flavor and nutritional components of tea, while improving the quality and taste of tea, has always been a technical problem in the tea processing field.

[0003] Traditional white tea processing technologies often have problems such as inaccurate temperature and humidity control, unreasonable light intensity, and inappropriate leaf spreading density, resulting in uneven water loss during the withering and drying processes of tea leaves, and it is difficult to precisely regulate the enzymatic oxidation reaction, affecting the taste and color of tea.

[0012] Preferably, in step 2, the density of the leaves spread on the withering screen is 0.4-0.6 kg / m 2 , turn the leaves every 2 hours during the withering process.

[0013] Preferably, in step 2, full spectrum sunlight is used to simulate sunlight exposure, and the light intensity gradient is set to 5000 lux for the initial 2 hours and then decreases by 500 lux per hour.

[0014] Preferably, in step 4, the sealed storage is carried out using nitrogen-filled packaging, the oxygen concentration in the packaging is ≤0.5%, and the nitrogen purity is ≥99.95%.

[0015] A multi-stage circulating drying processing device comprises a drying box, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a third conveyor belt and two toggle mechanisms; the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt and the third conveyor belt are sequentially arranged in the drying box from top to bottom, one of the toggle mechanisms is arranged on the second conveyor belt and the other of the toggle mechanisms is arranged on the third conveyor belt; the side end of the first conveyor belt is arranged outside the drying box and the side end of the third conveyor belt is arranged outside the drying box.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By regulating temperature, humidity and light intensity in stages (natural withering → simulated sunlight gradient irradiation), combined with precise leaf density (0.4-0.6kg / m 2 ) and periodic leaf turning operations can simultaneously achieve uniform water loss from fresh leaves and regulation of enzymatic oxidation. Among them, the full-spectrum sunlight-simulating light gradient design (starting at 5000 lux and decreasing by 500 lux per hour) accurately simulates the photoperiodic changes in the tea tree's native environment, effectively activating the activity of polyphenol oxidase in tea leaves and promoting the moderate conversion of catechins into theaflavins and thearubigins. This not only avoids excessive chlorophyll degradation caused by traditional high temperature and strong light (preserving green and protecting the tea leaves), but also reduces the bitterness caused by excessive oxidation of catechins, ultimately forming the unique sweet and mellow taste and apricot-yellow translucent soup color of white tea.

[0023] 2. In the initial baking stage, slow baking at 70-75°C (20-30 minutes) is used to quickly inactivate enzyme activity and lock in the flavor substance foundation formed in the withering stage; in the re-baking stage, the temperature is increased to 90-95°C for short-term high-temperature treatment (10-15 minutes). While quickly removing moisture (water content ≤ 6%), the thermal synergy promotes the Maillard reaction between sugars and amino acids, generating characteristic aroma components such as caramel and honey. Combined with subsequent nitrogen-filled packaging (oxygen concentration ≤ 0.5%) and low-temperature, light-proof storage (0-5°C), it can completely block the oxidation of tea lipids, chlorophyll photolysis, and microbial growth pathways, thereby increasing the 18-month retention rate of heat-sensitive components in tea, such as vitamin C and tea polyphenols, to more than 85%. No chemical preservatives are added, which fully meets the core appeal of natural purity of organic products.

[0024] 3. Through the hierarchical distribution design of the three-level conveyor belt (conveyor belts one to three), combined with the different temperatures of each level (adaptable to the requirements of 70-75°C for initial drying and 90-95°C for re-drying in the white tea processing technology), segmented control of tea drying parameters is achieved. Among them, the toggle mechanism configured on conveyor belts two and three can periodically turn over the tea layer (simulating the manual drying action), breaking the problems of surface crusting and uneven internal moisture content caused by traditional static drying, and ensuring the synchronous dehydration of the inner and outer layers of the tea. At the same time, the closed structure of the drying box and the vertical layout of the multi-level conveyor belts (natural convection of heat from top to bottom) enable the high-temperature hot air to form a circulating vortex in the box, and the heat energy recycling rate is increased by more than 40%, avoiding the energy waste caused by frequent dehumidification of the single-stage drying device.

[0025] 4. The rotating rod drives each rotating sleeve to rotate, thereby causing the corresponding rotating wheel to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding toggle rod to rotate. The rotating toggle rod can flip and toggle the tea leaves on the conveyor belt, avoiding mechanical damage to the tea buds during the flipping process. At the same time, the multi-level drop design allows the tea leaves to fall naturally and loosely, effectively preventing the leaves from breaking.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a process for processing organic white tea.Figure 1 , an organic white tea processing process, comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: Select fresh leaves from organically certified tea varieties, picking them with one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves beginning to unfold;

[0038] Step 2: Spread the fresh leaves evenly on a bamboo withering screen and wither naturally for 8-12 hours at a temperature of 18-22°C and a relative humidity of 65-75%. Then transfer them to a withering room with a light intensity of 3000-5000 lux, control the temperature at 25-28°C and the humidity at 50-60%, and wither for 4-6 hours.

[0039] Step 3: Use hot air equipment to initially dry the tea leaves at 70-75°C for 20-30 minutes to reduce the moisture content of the tea leaves to 15-18%. Adjust the temperature to 90-95°C and re-dry for 10-15 minutes to a final moisture content of ≤6%.

[0040] Step 4: Place the finished tea in a dark environment, control the temperature to 0-5℃, and store the tea in a sealed container with a relative humidity below 30%.

[0041] This processing technology achieves uniform moisture loss from fresh leaves and precise control of enzymatic oxidation by regulating temperature, humidity, light intensity and leaf density in stages, combined with periodic leaf turning operations, thus forming the unique taste and soup color of white tea. The low-temperature slow baking in the initial baking stage inactivates enzyme activity, while the high-temperature rapid dehydration in the re-baking stage promotes Maillard reaction and generates characteristic aroma. The subsequent nitrogen-filled packaging and low-temperature, light-proof storage effectively block the oxidation, photolysis and microbial growth of tea leaves, significantly increasing the retention rate of heat-sensitive components to over 85%. Without the need for chemical preservatives, it fully meets the natural and pure standards of organic products, providing a new solution for the preservation and aroma enhancement of white tea.

[0042] Specifically, in step 2, the density of the leaves spread on the withering screen is 0.4-0.6 kg / m 2 , turn the leaves every 2 hours during the withering process.

[0043] Specifically, in step 2, full spectrum sunlight is used to simulate sunlight exposure, and the light intensity gradient is set to 5000 lux for the initial 2 hours and then decrease by 500 lux per hour.

[0044] Specifically, in step 4, the sealed storage is carried out using nitrogen-filled packaging, the oxygen concentration in the packaging is ≤0.5%, and the nitrogen purity is ≥99.95%.

[0045] Through this process:

[0046] 1. By regulating temperature, humidity and light intensity in stages (natural withering → simulated sunlight gradient irradiation), combined with precise leaf density (0.4-0.6kg / m 2) and periodic leaf turning operations can simultaneously achieve uniform water loss from fresh leaves and regulation of enzymatic oxidation. Among them, the full-spectrum sunlight-simulating light gradient design (starting at 5000 lux and decreasing by 500 lux per hour) accurately simulates the photoperiodic changes in the tea tree's native environment, effectively activating the activity of polyphenol oxidase in tea leaves and promoting the moderate conversion of catechins into theaflavins and thearubigins. This not only avoids excessive chlorophyll degradation caused by traditional high temperature and strong light (preserving green and protecting the tea leaves), but also reduces the bitterness caused by excessive oxidation of catechins, ultimately forming the unique sweet and mellow taste and apricot-yellow translucent soup color of white tea.

[0047] 2. In the initial baking stage, slow baking at 70-75°C (20-30 minutes) is used to quickly inactivate enzyme activity and lock in the flavor substance foundation formed in the withering stage; in the re-baking stage, the temperature is increased to 90-95°C for short-term high-temperature treatment (10-15 minutes). While quickly removing moisture (water content ≤ 6%), the thermal synergy promotes the Maillard reaction between sugars and amino acids, generating characteristic aroma components such as caramel and honey. Combined with subsequent nitrogen-filled packaging (oxygen concentration ≤ 0.5%) and low-temperature, light-proof storage (0-5°C), it can completely block the oxidation of tea lipids, chlorophyll photolysis, and microbial growth pathways, thereby increasing the 18-month retention rate of heat-sensitive components in tea, such as vitamin C and tea polyphenols, to more than 85%. No chemical preservatives are added, which fully meets the core appeal of natural purity of organic products.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a multi-stage circulation drying processing device. Figures 2 to 5 A multi-stage circulating drying processing device includes a drying box 1, a conveyor belt 1 2, a conveyor belt 2 3, a conveyor belt 3 4 and two toggle mechanisms 5; the conveyor belt 1 2, the conveyor belt 2 3, and the conveyor belt 3 4 are arranged in the drying box 1 from top to bottom, one toggle mechanism 5 is arranged on the conveyor belt 2 3, and the other toggle mechanism 5 is arranged on the conveyor belt 3 4; the side end of the conveyor belt 1 2 is arranged outside the drying box 1, and the side end of the conveyor belt 3 4 is arranged outside the drying box 1.

[0050] Specifically, the semi-finished white tea to be dried is transported by conveyor belt 1 2 and dried by drying box 1. After drying for a certain period of time, it is transported to conveyor belt 2 3 by conveyor belt 1 2 and dried for a period of time. Then, it is transported to conveyor belt 3 4 by conveyor belt 2 3 and dried for a period of time. Finally, it is transported and discharged by conveyor belt 3 4. Through this structural design, the tea leaves can be dried in multiple stages, and the heat can be retained in the drying box 1 to achieve cyclic drying.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, the side of the drying box 1 is provided with a gear 1 for rotation, and a gear 2 is provided on a rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 2 3. The gear 1 is meshed with the gear 2, and the side end of the conveyor belt 1 2 is connected to the side end of the gear 2 through a transmission belt; the side of the drying box 1 is provided with a gear 3 for rotation, and the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 3 4 is provided with a gear 4. The gear 4 is meshed with the gear 3, and the other rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 2 3 is connected to the side end of the gear 3 through a transmission belt; the side end of the conveyor belt 1 2 is provided with a motor 6.

[0052] Specifically, the motor 6 drives the conveyor belt 1 2 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt to drive gear 1 to rotate, thereby rotating gear 2, thereby causing the conveyor belt 2 3 to rotate, the rotation of the conveyor belt 2 3 causes the transmission belt to drive gear 3 to rotate, the rotation of gear 3 causes gear 4 to rotate, thereby rotating the conveyor belt 3 4, completing the transportation and delivery of tea leaves.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, a heating element 7 (which may be an electric drying machine, an electric baking cage, a mesh belt electric drying machine, a far infrared electric drying machine, etc.) is provided inside the drying box 1.

[0054] Through the hierarchical distribution design of the three-level conveyor belt (conveyor belts one to three), combined with the different temperatures of each level (adaptable to the requirements of initial drying at 70-75°C and re-drying at 90-95°C in the white tea processing technology), segmented control of tea drying parameters is achieved.

[0055] Among them, the toggle mechanism 5 configured on the conveyor belt 2 3 and the conveyor belt 3 4 can periodically turn over the tea layer (simulating the manual spreading action), breaking the problems of surface crusting and uneven internal moisture content caused by traditional static drying, and ensuring the synchronous dehydration of the inner and outer layers of the tea.

[0056] At the same time, the closed structure of the drying box 1 and the vertical layout of the multi-stage conveyor belt (heat naturally convects from top to bottom) enable the high-temperature hot air to form a circulating vortex in the box, increasing the heat energy recycling rate by more than 40%, avoiding energy waste caused by frequent dehumidification in a single-stage drying device.

[0057] The three-stage conveyor belt is arranged end to end (feeding at the 2nd side of the conveyor belt and discharging at the 3rd side of the conveyor belt) to realize the continuous operation of the entire process from initial drying to re-drying of white tea, reducing the manual intervention time by 40% compared with intermittent drying equipment.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] This embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiment 2, and the parts that are the same as the above technical solutions will not be repeated here. Figure 5As shown, in order to better realize the present invention, the following setting is particularly adopted: in this embodiment, the toggle mechanism 5 includes a horizontal plate 500 arranged inside the drying box 1, and a rotating rod 501 is rotatably arranged on the side of the horizontal plate 500, and a plurality of rotating sleeves 502 are equidistantly arranged in the middle of the rotating rod 501, and a plurality of rotating wheels 503 are arranged on the top of the horizontal plate 500, and the rotating sleeves 502 are meshed and connected with the rotating wheels 503, and the rotating sleeves 502 correspond to the rotating wheels 503 one by one, and a toggle rod 504 is provided at the bottom of the rotating wheel 503, and the toggle rod 504 is arranged at the bottom of the horizontal plate 500.

[0060] Specifically, the rotating rod 501 drives each rotating sleeve 502 to rotate, thereby causing the corresponding rotating wheel 503 to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding toggle rod 504 to rotate, and the rotating toggle rod 504 can turn over and toggle the tea leaves on the conveyor belt.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the side end of the rotating rod 501 is connected to the side end of the conveyor belt 2 through a transmission belt.

[0062] Mechanical damage to the tea buds is avoided during the turning process. At the same time, the multi-level drop design (the height difference between the conveyor belts is 10-15cm) allows the tea leaves to fall naturally and loosely, effectively preventing the leaves from breaking.

[0063] Through the synergistic effects of heat circulation, dynamic turning and flexible transmission, the device can make the moisture content of tea reach the standard from the initial drying to the re-drying stage (15-18%→≤6%), and the drying uniformity (moisture content standard deviation ≤0.8%) is better than that of traditional single-stage dryers, completely avoiding the problem of burnt smell or thermal degradation of nutritional active substances caused by local over-drying.
