The invention provides a method for
processing a
black tea produced from ancient tea trees. The tea is prepared from tender leaves of the wild or cultivated ancient tea trees older than 100 years in the Fanjingshan mountain area as a
raw material and is prepared by adopting the following steps: picking the fresh tea leaves; naturally withering; rocking; rolling; deblocking; fermenting;
drying; and
charcoal baking. In the method disclosed by the invention, on the basis of a traditional process, the step of rocking for three times is added after the step of naturally withering, and in combination with a rocking process of oolong, the tea leaves are rubbed with one another in the process of rocking, so that border cells of the leaves are disrupted, the oxidation reaction of substances such as
polyphenol is accelerated, and the transformation of aromatic substances in the tea leaves is promoted; and
charcoal baking is performed after
drying, so that in a long-term low temperature environment, sweeter and mellower taste characteristics of the
black tea are formed, and therefore, compared with traditional
black tea, the black tea prepared from the raw materials and by adopting the
processing method disclosed by the invention is stronger in flower and fruit flavors, richer in
flavor type, and fresher, sweeter and mellower in taste.
