Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to an integrated tea fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages, and are categorized by season (spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea, and winter tea). Tea leaves undergo multiple processing steps before being made into tea beverages.

[0003] The main purpose of fixing tea leaves is to destroy and deactivate the oxidase activity in fresh leaves through high temperature, inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols, evaporate some of the moisture in the fresh leaves, soften the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape, and at the same time remove the grassy smell and promote the formation of a good aroma. During the fixing process, a large amount of moisture is generated. In related tea fixing equipment technology, to allow this moisture to escape, the fixing device is semi-open. However, in a semi-open manner, a large amount of heat is released along with the moisture during the fixing process, wasting a lot of heat energy, lowering the internal temperature of the fixing device, and adversely affecting the fixing effect.
