Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for tea production and processing, and more specifically, to a tea fermentation and aroma enhancement device. Background Technology
[0002] Tea fermentation is a crucial step in tea processing. Fermentation refers to the chemical reactions that occur in tea leaves under the influence of moisture and temperature, resulting in a series of product transformations and component changes. Through fermentation, the flavor, aroma, and color of tea leaves are significantly altered, thus creating different types of tea for drinking.
[0003] Placing tea leaves directly in a fermentation tank for static fermentation without any auxiliary heating results in a relatively long fermentation cycle and low production efficiency. Therefore, we have proposed a tea fermentation and aroma enhancement device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
