The adjustment process of the temperature and humidity control device in the tea fermentation process as described in any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, Step 1: Place the tea leaves to be fermented in the placement trough (2) and spread them out evenly; Step 2: The ventilation fan (302) is started, which drives the air through the ventilation slot (301) and through each placement slot (2) to remove the moisture on the surface of the tea leaves and reduce the humidity of the tea leaves; Step 3: Turn off the ventilation fan (302) and let the tea leaves in each placement tank (2) ferment. Step 4: Drive the push ring (201) to rotate through the drive component, which in turn drives the push plate (202) and push rod (203) to rotate, pushing and scattering the tea leaves to prevent the tea leaves from clumping and affecting fermentation; Step 5: Humidify each placement tank (2) using the humidification component (4), and adjust the humidity of the tea leaves in the placement tank (2) in conjunction with the ventilation fan (302).
