This invention relates to the field of tea quality improvement and
processing technology, and discloses a
processing method for enhancing the freshness, reducing astringency, and increasing
aroma of tea using bio-enzymes. The steps include: fresh leaf picking, controlled-light intermittent withering, bio-
enzyme spraying withering, controlled-frequency rolling, variable-temperature and
humidity controlled
fermentation + bio-
enzyme spraying, high-temperature short-time hot air finishing, and far-
infrared radiation finishing. The bio-enzymes used in the bio-
enzyme spraying withering and variable-temperature and
humidity controlled
fermentation + bio-enzyme spraying steps are biomimetic enzymes, precisely formulated according to the types and activities of bio-enzymes found in the intestines of insects that feed on fresh tea leaves. Through the synergistic effects of bio-enzyme spraying, precise control of specific light, and far-
infrared radiation finishing, the method promotes the formation and enrichment of sweet and savory substances such as amino acids, soluble sugars, and theaflavins, as well as aromatic substances such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters. The
processing method of this invention can achieve targeted enhancement of freshness, reduction of astringency, and increase of
aroma in tea, enabling the stable and high-quality production of characteristic flavored teas, improving the industrial value of bulk tea and summer and autumn teas, and promoting quality improvement and efficiency enhancement.
