Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a device for steaming green matcha. Background Technology

[0002] Matcha originated in China during the Sui Dynasty. Initially, matcha was made primarily through a primitive method of hand-grinding. Traditional steaming is a crucial step in matcha production, effectively preventing tea fermentation and preserving its vibrant green color and nutritional components. In ancient times, steaming typically involved using simple steamers or similar tools to heat the tea leaves with steam. In Japanese tea culture, matcha production techniques inherited and improved upon some ancient Chinese methods. Early Japanese matcha steaming equipment was also quite rudimentary, likely using simple steamers made of materials like bamboo. Freshly picked tea leaves were placed in the steamer, and the steam generated from the heating element below was used to steam the tea leaves.

[0003] As the matcha market continues to expand, there are higher requirements for the yield and quality stability of matcha. Traditional manual steaming equipment and processes are difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Modern steamed matcha equipment has emerged to address this need. It can precisely control the temperature, time, and steam pressure during steaming. In the food industry, to ensure the consistency of the color, aroma, and nutritional components of matcha products, a highly efficient and stable steaming equipment is needed. Precise temperature control ensures that the enzymes in the tea leaves are deactivated at the appropriate temperature. Too short a time may result in incomplete enzyme deactivation, making the tea leaves prone to oxidation and discoloration; too long a time may damage the nutritional components and aroma substances of the tea leaves. This technological integration allows steamed matcha equipment to improve the production efficiency and quality of matcha. Utility Model Content
