AI Technical Summary
Traditional methods of preparing osmanthus tea result in a weak aroma and limited health benefits, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers mixed with tea leaves lasts for a short time.
The process involves multiple mixing and baking, where osmanthus flowers and Tieguanyin tea semi-finished products are baked at different temperatures, with the temperature controlled at 60℃ and 95-100℃. They are then spread out in a specific ratio and layered manner, and finally pressed into shape.
It enhances the aroma intensity of Osmanthus-scented Tieguanyin tea and maintains the fragrance for a long time. It is also rich in vitamins and anthocyanins, which have the effects of detoxification, beautification, and stress relief.
Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a processing method of tea leaves, in particular to a novel flower-scented tea leaf processing and manufacturing process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Iron Guanyin is one of famous teas in China, is a kind of oolong tea, and is originally produced in Anxi County, Fujian Province. Iron Guanyin is originally a tea variety, and since it is suitable for oolong tea, the finished oolong tea is also named Iron Guanyin. The so-called Iron Guanyin tea is oolong tea made of tea trees of the Iron Guanyin variety, and the Iron Guanyin is manufactured strictly and skillfully.
[0003] High-quality Anxi Iron Guanyin tea is thick and tight, heavy as iron, with obvious lotus sand green, green tip, red dot, sweet and high flower fragrance, sweet and thick fresh, has a unique taste, and has a sweet and mellow aftertaste. After 7 times of brewing, there is still a sweet and mellow aftertaste. The soup is golden yellow, the leaf bottom is thick and soft, bright and uniform, the leaf edge is red dot, and the green heart is red inlaid edge. At present, the manufacturing method of Iron Guanyin has a national standard, (GB 19598-2004) “Anxi Iron Guanyin of the original geographical product”, which divides the Iron Guanyin product into two types of clear fragrance type and strong fragrance type. The two manufacturing methods are as follows:
[0004] Clear fragrance type Iron Guanyin: rough tea-screening-air selection-picking and sorting, picking and sorting-mixing-uniform stacking-light drying-product;
[0005] Strong fragrance type Iron Guanyin: rough tea-screening-air selection-picking-mixing-roasting-cooling-uniform stacking-picking-product;
[0006] Osmanthus has the effects of warming yang qi, whitening skin, expelling internal toxins, relieving cough and phlegm, and nourishing health and moistening lungs. Many people feel that the skin is dry in summer, or the voice is hoarse due to heatiness. Adding osmanthus in tea can relieve the symptoms.
[0007] However, the traditional osmanthus tea preparation directly mixes osmanthus with tea, and the prepared tea has not strong and lasting fragrance, and the health care effect is not obvious. SUMMARY
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the application is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology, and to provide a novel flower-scented tea leaf processing and manufacturing process.
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the application is a novel flower-scented tea leaf processing and manufacturing process, which comprises the following steps:
[0010] Step 1) selecting high-quality fresh leaves of Iron Guanyin tea, and baking the fresh leaves after sun-curing to obtain tea semi-finished products for standby;
[0011] Step 2) selecting various clear fragrance type fresh flowers for storage or sun-drying for standby;
[0012] Step 3) The tea leaf semi-finished product obtained in step 1 and the dry fresh flowers obtained in step 2 are laid in a baking machine at a volume ratio of 2:1, and baking is performed at a baking temperature of not higher than 60 DEG C for one hour; after the baking is completed, the intermediate product is taken out and naturally cooled for one day;
[0013] Step 4) The intermediate product cooled in step 3 and the dry osmanthus flowers obtained in step 2 are laid in a baking machine at a volume ratio of 2:1, and baking is performed at a baking temperature of 95-100 DEG C for two hours;
[0014] Step 5) Compression molding is performed to obtain the target product.
[0015] Further, the fresh flowers with a clean fragrance in step 2 are any one of osmanthus fragrans, golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus.
[0016] Further, the tea leaf semi-finished product and the dry fresh flowers in step 3 are laid according to the specification of two layers of tea leaf semi-finished product and one layer of dry osmanthus flowers.
[0017] Further, the intermediate product and the dry fresh flowers in step 4 are laid according to the specification of two layers of intermediate product and one layer of dry fresh flowers.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the processing method of osmanthus fragrance type Tieguanyin tea provided by the application can improve the mixing of the aroma with the crude tea leaves by mixing and baking the osmanthus flowers and the tea leaves for multiple times, the osmanthus fragrance type Tieguanyin tea prepared has rich aroma, and the aroma can be maintained for a long time; the tea leaves contain rich vitamins and anthocyanins, have good effects of detoxification, skin care and stress relief, and can also help refreshing. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The novel flower-scented tea processing and manufacturing process will be further described in detail below in combination with examples.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] The novel flower-scented tea processing and manufacturing process comprises the following steps:
[0022] Step 1) High-quality Tieguanyin tea fresh leaves are selected, and after sun-curing, the tea leaves are baked to inactivate the enzymes, and a tea leaf semi-finished product is obtained for standby;
