Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and more specifically, to a device for uniformly stirring and mixing tea. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea production process, especially in the production of blended, flavored, or compound teas, it is necessary to thoroughly mix various raw tea leaves in a certain proportion to ensure the consistency of the finished tea in terms of taste, aroma, and color. Traditional tea mixing methods often involve manual stirring or simple mechanical mixing.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that currently, using manual stirring or simple mechanical mixing results in problems such as uneven mixing, low efficiency, and easy damage to the appearance of tea leaves. Furthermore, there is a lack of effective control over environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, which in turn affects the final quality of the tea leaves. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a tea uniform stirring and mixing device, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.
