What is drying? Drying is the process of using tea dryer or manual drying to allow the excess water in tea leaves to vaporize, destroy enzyme activity, inhibit enzymatic oxidation, promote the thermochemical reaction of the substances contained in tea leaves, improve the aroma and taste of tea leaves, and form the shape.
China Tea Dryer is a more important tool used in the primary processing of tea, Tea dryer factories mainly evaporates tea moisture through heat, so as to form the unique sensory quality and stable quality characteristics of tea.
The purpose of tea drying: one is to use high temperature to quickly purify the enzyme activity to stop fermentation. Second is to evaporate water to reduce the volume
Thirdly, to disperse the grassy taste, stimulate the aromatic substances of tea and retain the sweetness.
The temperature of the air is heated by the dryer to physically heat the tea leaves, thus making the process of losing water from the tea leaves. The advantages of using a tea leaf dryer are simple operation, more uniform heating and no unpleasant odor.
In the tea drying process, it is necessary to pay attention to the three elements of temperature, leaf volume and turning. The principle followed is that the temperature is first high and then low, and the amount of leaves is first less and then more. The temperature of tea leaves with high water content should be high and the amount of leaves should be small.
