The invention discloses a
processing and production method of mulberry-leave tea. The invention is characterized in that the
processing and production method comprises the following nine major steps: picking the mulberry leaves, peeling the mulberry leaves, airing the enzymes, deactivating the enzymes, air-
drying, kneading, screening and classifying, refining the
aroma, dehydrating and the like. The
processing and production method has the beneficial effects that the leaf stems and the thick leaf veins of the fresh and tender mulberry leaves which are picked in proper season are peeled, so that the refreshing and pure taste of the mulberry-leave tea can be preserved; enzymes in the leaf stems and the thick leaf veins are further deactivated by
water vapor, so that the pure
aroma of the mulberry-leave tea can be further ensured; the
enzyme deactivation and the air-
drying are performed on a conveyer belt so that the shapes of the mulberry leaves are kept and the strips formed by the mulberry leaves are uniform in shape; the kneading is performed when the mulberry leaves are hot, so that the mulberry leaves can be better shaped and the
astringent taste of the mulberry leaves is removed; and the
astringent taste can be further covered by the step of refining the
aroma. The mulberry-leave tea produced according to the processing and production method has the advantages that the mulberry-leave tea is uniform in appearance, jade-green in color, refreshing and thick in aroma, dark-green and transparent in tea-soup color, tender and mellow in tea-soup taste as well as exquisite and fragrant tea-soup
flavor. The processing and production method greatly improves quality of the mulberry-leave tea product.
