Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage processing technology, and in particular to a bagged tea and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With improved living standards, people are increasingly consuming high-fat, high-calorie diets, often experiencing indigestion, bloating, and a greasy feeling. Herbal tea substitutes, due to their natural and convenient characteristics, are widely used for daily health maintenance. Currently, there are various herbal tea substitute products available with effects such as relieving greasiness, reducing fat, and regulating qi.

[0003] However, existing substitute teas often have the following shortcomings: First, their effects are relatively singular, making it difficult to simultaneously address multiple needs such as relieving greasiness, reducing fat, and regulating qi; second, the selection and proportion of raw materials are unreasonable, resulting in the inability to fully release active ingredients and limited actual effects; and third, some products have a bitter taste, leading to poor consumer compliance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a bagged tea and its preparation method, which solves the problem that existing substitute teas have a single function and do not combine the effects of relieving greasiness, reducing fat, and regulating qi, so as to achieve a refreshing, greasiness-relieving, qi-regulating and digestion-aiding drinking effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives: On one hand, the present invention proposes a bagged tea, comprising the following raw material weight components: 0-3g dried tangerine peel; 0-3g cassia seed; 0-3g peppermint; 0-3g auxiliary material; 0-10g additive; the weight of the raw materials is at least 9g.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that the tangerine peel is 3g, the cassia seed is 2g, the peppermint is 1g, and the auxiliary material is 3g.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that the additive is Poria cocos; 6g of Poria cocos is used, and the weight of the raw material is 15g.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the auxiliary material is Buddha's Hand or Hawthorn.

[0009] On the other hand, the present invention proposes a method for preparing bagged tea, the method comprising: S1: Impurities in hard raw materials that have passed quality inspection are manually removed, while impurities in seed raw materials are removed by wind with a maximum force of 7.0 m / s. S2: Quickly rinse the selected raw materials with running water, and then rinse the quick-rinsed raw materials with running water. S3: First, use hot air at 60-70 degrees Celsius to dry the cleaned raw materials. Then, based on the change in the internal humidity content of the raw materials, use hot air at 45-55 degrees Celsius for a period of time to dry the raw materials that have been dried at a higher temperature. S4: When cutting the processed hard medicinal materials, cut them obliquely. The fineness of crushing seed medicinal materials should be 40-60 mesh. S5: Weigh the processed raw materials to the appropriate specifications, then pour them into the three-dimensional mixer and mix them at a uniform speed for 8-12 minutes. The material uniformity should be less than or equal to 50%. Finally, mix the materials and put them into filter paper bags. After sterilization, package them.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the impurity selection process includes manual selection or wind selection; The maximum wind speed for selecting cassia seeds is 7.0 m / s, and the selected cassia seeds are plump and intact.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the moisture content of the raw material after drying is at most 12%.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: After consuming a heavy, oily meal, first boil water and keep it boiling. Then, drop the tea bag into the boiling water and steep for five minutes. Once it reaches a suitable temperature, it is ready to drink. For those with sensitive stomachs, drop the tea bag into the boiling water, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for three minutes before drinking. This tea bag can also be used to relieve bloating and indigestion caused by overeating or consuming too much oil and salt. It can help to cleanse the palate, absorb excess oil, and regulate qi.

[0016] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the invention.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] This embodiment provides a bagged tea, comprising the following raw material weight components: 0-3g dried tangerine peel; 0-3g cassia seed; 0-3g peppermint; 0-3g auxiliary material; 0-10g additive; and the raw material weight is at least 9g.

[0019] Without adding any other ingredients, the total amount of raw materials in the tea bag is 9g.

[0020] Use 3g of dried tangerine peel, 2g of cassia seed, 1g of mint, and 3g of auxiliary ingredients.

[0021] The added ingredient is Poria cocos; 6g of Poria cocos is used, and the weight of the raw material is 15g.

[0022] The auxiliary ingredients are Buddha's Hand or Hawthorn.

[0023] The bagged tea substitute in Example 1 weighs 9g in total. It typically contains 3g of dried tangerine peel, 2g of cassia seed, 1g of mint, and 3g of hawthorn. In the second step, hawthorn can be replaced with bergamot. To increase the weight to 15g, 6g of poria cocos can be added to the 9g. The compound tea bag containing dried tangerine peel, cassia seed, hawthorn, mint, and poria cocos has the functions of relieving greasiness, reducing fat, and regulating qi.

[0024] After consuming a heavy, oily meal, first boil water and keep it boiling. Then, drop the tea bag into the boiling water and steep for five minutes. Once it reaches a suitable temperature, it is ready to drink. For those with sensitive stomachs, drop the tea bag into the boiling water, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for three minutes before drinking. This tea bag can also be used to relieve bloating and indigestion caused by overeating or consuming too much oil and salt. It can help to cleanse the palate, absorb excess oil, and regulate qi.

[0025] This embodiment provides a method for preparing bagged tea, the method comprising: S1: Impurities in hard raw materials that have passed quality inspection are manually removed, while impurities in seed raw materials are removed by wind with a maximum force of 7.0 m / s. S2: Quickly rinse the selected raw materials with running water, and then rinse the quick-rinsed raw materials with running water. S3: First, use hot air at 60-70 degrees Celsius to dry the cleaned raw materials. Then, based on the change in the internal humidity content of the raw materials, use hot air at 45-55 degrees Celsius for a period of time to dry the raw materials that have been dried at a higher temperature. S4: When cutting the processed hard medicinal materials, cut them obliquely. The fineness of crushing seed medicinal materials should be 40-60 mesh. S5: Weigh the processed raw materials to the appropriate specifications, then pour them into the three-dimensional mixer and mix them at a uniform speed for 8-12 minutes. The material uniformity should be less than or equal to 50%. Finally, mix the materials and put them into filter paper bags. After sterilization, package them.

[0026] In step S1, the raw materials that have passed the quality inspection are sorted to remove impurities. The quality inspection mainly checks for pesticide residues, heavy metals, moisture, mold, and insect infestation. The impurity removal process includes manual sorting or wind sorting.

[0027] Generally, when selecting larger raw materials, manual selection is sufficient. However, when selecting cassia seeds, such as those used in this example, the seeds are too small, making it difficult to manually remove shriveled seeds. Furthermore, shriveled seeds are not as effective as plump seeds, which would obscure the tea's flavor. Therefore, plump seeds must be selected. Figure 2 The test showed that wind speeds of 5.0 m / s and below were sufficient to filter out most of the not-full cassia seeds, with the maximum usable wind speed being 7.0-9.0 m / s.

[0028] The maximum wind speed for selecting cassia seeds is 7.0 m / s, in order to better select plump and intact cassia seeds.

[0029] The raw materials in step S2 are cleaned, and the cleaning process includes rapid rinsing and rapid washing. Quick rinsing involves placing the raw materials on the water surface and then quickly scooping them out. Quick rinsing refers to rinsing the raw materials quickly with running water.

[0030] The purpose of the rapid rinsing is to further remove small stones that were not selected from the raw materials. Because these medicinal materials are relatively light after drying, they will float on the water. At this time, the stones sink in the water, while the raw materials float on the surface. This rinsing is very fast, and the raw materials are spread out as evenly as possible during rinsing. This can reduce the loss of water-soluble substances in the raw materials and further remove the stones. This step also has another purpose: to soften the hard soil on the surface of the medicinal materials. When washing away dust and other impurities on the surface of the raw materials with running water, the softening effect of the previous rinsing will make it easier to wash away the hard soil particles with running water. The purpose of using running water is also to reduce the water-soluble substances in the medicinal materials.

[0031] The maximum moisture content of the raw materials after drying is 12%.

[0032] In step S3, the raw materials will be wet after washing and need to be dried; in this embodiment, the drying process is achieved by temperature curve drying. The temperature curve drying process first uses hot air at 60-70 degrees Celsius to dry the cleaned raw materials. Based on the changes in the internal moisture content of the raw materials, hot air at 45-55 degrees Celsius is used for a period of time to dry the raw materials after the higher temperature drying, while ensuring that the moisture content of the raw materials after drying is at most 12%.

[0033] In this embodiment, a curved temperature drying process is adopted. That is, the medicinal materials are first dried with hot air at a higher temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius. Then, after testing, it is found that the water content in the raw materials has changed. At this time, the hot air is changed to 45-55 degrees Celsius for drying. This curved temperature drying is much better than direct high temperature drying.

[0034] In particular, when drying cassia seeds, using high temperatures directly can cause the oils to deteriorate. If low temperatures are used, the outer shell of the cassia seeds can easily harden and seal off, preventing the internal moisture from escaping. This is known as "shelling" or "false drying," where the seeds appear dry but have a high internal moisture content. This makes them prone to dampness and mold growth during storage, eventually leading to moldy tea bags and harming human health. Therefore, the high temperature in this embodiment is 60-70 degrees Celsius, and the low temperature is 45-55 degrees Celsius. This ensures that the cassia seeds do not deteriorate in terms of oils, nor does it prevent the internal moisture from escaping.

[0035] The curved temperature drying method used in this embodiment, compared to constant temperature drying at 46 degrees Celsius, significantly reduces the drying time and results in more uniform drying of the raw materials.

[0036] In step S4, the medicinal materials need to be classified and processed, including cutting hard medicinal materials and crushing seed-type medicinal materials. Hard medicinal materials need to be cut at an angle. Seed-type medicinal materials need to be crushed to a fineness of 40-60 mesh.

[0037] When cutting hard medicinal materials, try to cut them at an angle. This increases the contact area with the tea when brewing, allowing the active ingredients to be released more quickly and enabling the tea to take effect faster.

[0038] Seed-type medicinal materials need to be crushed, preferably to a fineness of 40-60 mesh. This fineness allows the active ingredients inside to fully infuse into the tea while preventing leakage from the tea bag.

[0039] In step S5, the materials are weighed one by one, sterilized, and then each bag is poured into a three-dimensional mixer for uniform mixing for 8-12 minutes until the material uniformity is less than or equal to 50%. After that, the mixed raw materials are put into tea bags, sealed, and packaged.

[0040] In summary, this invention solves the problem that existing substitute teas have a single function and do not combine the effects of relieving greasiness, reducing fat, and regulating qi, thus achieving a refreshing, greasiness-relieving, qi-regulating, and digestion-aiding drinking effect.
