Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and in particular to a drying device for white tea processing that can make white tea heat evenly. Background Technology
[0002] Tea is mainly classified into green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, and dark tea. White tea is further divided into white bud tea and white leaf tea. White tea, considered a precious variety with a long history, contains polyphenols that regulate blood sugar metabolism, lowering blood sugar levels and effectively preventing and treating diabetes. The production process of white tea mainly includes picking, withering, drying, and storage. Drying is a crucial step in the processing of white tea.
[0003] However, some white teas are currently dried using natural sun-drying methods, which severely impacts production efficiency and makes them susceptible to external weather conditions, leading to prolonged processing. Other methods use drying equipment where the tea leaves are placed in containers for drying, but the leaves cannot be frequently turned, resulting in uneven heating and affecting the final quality of the white tea.
