[0002] Tea shaping is a crucial step in the tea-making process, shaping the appearance of tea leaves. It involves using physical methods to change the shape of the tea leaves, improving their quality and aesthetics. These methods include shaping, flattening, rolling, lifting the downy hairs, and tightening the leaves. Tea shaping is a key step in transforming raw tea into finished tea, directly affecting the appearance and quality stability of the tea. For strip-shaped teas, such as Wuyi Rock Tea and Wanning Partridge Tea, rolling and shaping are often necessary.
[0003] Currently, the rolling process for strip-shaped tea leaves still mostly relies on manual rolling by tea workers. Manual rolling is not only wasteful of manpower and inefficient, but it also results in inconsistent curling of the rolled tea leaves, affecting the appearance of the finished product. In addition, when shaping strip-shaped tea leaves, the moisture content of the tea leaves must be adjusted, as high moisture content will affect the quality of the tea.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
