The invention relates to the technical field of tea drinks, in particular to
cyclocarya paliurus yellow tea and a preparation method thereof, and particularly relates to a
cyclocarya paliurus leaf
fermentation method and
cyclocarya paliurus yellow tea formed by blending and mixing fermented cyclocarya paliurus leaves and
black tea according to a certain proportion. The cyclocarya paliurus leaf
fermentation method comprises the steps of withering, rolling, fermenting and
drying. The
water content of the withered cyclocarya paliurus leaves is 58-62 wt%; the
cell destruction rate of the rolled cyclocarya paliurus leaves reaches 85% or above, and the strip forming rate of the leaves is 90% or above; the
fermentation degree is 15-20%, 90% or more of the leaf color of the cyclocarya paliurus leaves after fermentation becomes
copper red, and the liquor color is bright yellow; the
drying comprises gross fire
drying, spreading for cooling and complete fire drying which are performed in sequence; the
moisture content after the first fire drying is 20wt%, and the
moisture content after the full fire drying is 6wt%. The cyclocarya paliurus leaves are processed through a fermentation technology, the fermented cyclocarya paliurus leaves and the
black tea are blended and mixed according to a certain proportion, the cyclocarya paliurus yellow tea which is unique in
flavor and suitable for
human health is formed, the cyclocarya paliurus yellow tea and the
black tea are in synergistic interaction, the requirements of consumers for health functions are met, the acceptability of the public for the
flavor of tea drinks is met, and the cyclocarya paliurus yellow tea is suitable for popularization and application. A new way is opened up for high-value utilization of the cyclocarya paliurus leaves.
