The invention relates to the technical field of
processing of
vitex tea, and particularly discloses a
processing method of
vitex tea, which comprises the following process steps: S1,
raw material pretreatment, including picking and screening,
pesticide residue detection and grading treatment; s2, cleaning treatment including primary cleaning, fine cleaning and color protection cleaning; s3, performing fixation treatment, namely performing fixation by adopting a
microwave-steam combined fixation
machine; s4, rolling treatment: adopting staged rolling including primary rolling, secondary rolling and strip tidying; s5,
drying treatment, wherein a three-stage technology of hot air pre-
drying, vacuum
freeze drying and hot air secondary
drying is adopted; s6, aging treatment, wherein aging is conducted under the condition of constant temperature and constant
humidity; s7, quality detection including sensory detection, physical and chemical detection and safety detection; and S8, by-product utilization: performing
resource utilization on branches, crushed leaves and cleaning
wastewater in the
processing process. Compared with the traditional process, the effective components are respectively improved, and the health value of the
vitex tea is greatly improved.
