Abstract

The present invention provides a preparation method of low-caffeine tea leaves. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) when tea leaves are picked, the leaves with relatively late germination are selected, that is, the tea leaves after second picking are selected as much as possible; (2) after the picked tea leaves are washed and spread-cooled, enzyme-deactivating is conducted, and the enzyme-deactivating method refers to a current traditional method; (3) under a temperature of 30-40 DEG C, the tea leaves are dehydrated, time is 6-8 hours, and water content of the tea leavesis controlled between 65% and 70%; (4) the dehydrated tea leaves are rolled for 20-25 minutes, the rolled tea leaves are placed for 1-2 hours, and then a second rolling is conducted for 10-15 minutes;and (5) the tea leaves are placed in a drying machine to be dried, temperature is controlled at 90-110 DEG C, and slow baking is conducted. The prepared tea leaves by the method has caffeine contentof less than 1%, and the method can effectively reduce the caffeine content in the tea leaves and enables the tea leaves to be more health-care based on public drink.
