青岛地区中小叶种晒红茶制作工艺

The Manufacture Craft of Medium and Small Leaf Sun-dried Black Tea in Qingdao Area

当前晒红茶主要采用云南省境内的大叶种茶树鲜叶为原料制作而成,而本工艺采用青岛地区中小叶种茶树为原料,经过萎凋、揉捻、发酵、预干燥、日光晒干、低温烘干等环节,没有常规工夫红茶高温烘焙提香的环节。这使得晒红茶保留了更多的活性物质,香气和滋味随着储存时间延长而呈现出不同层次的良好品质特点,突破了常规红茶保质期较短的局限,在合适的贮存条件下可长期贮存,为青岛地区红茶生产加工提供了新思路。

Currently,the fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis var.assamica are generally used as raw materials to make sun-dried black tea.In this study,the medium and small leaves of Camellia sinensis var.sinensis in Qingdao were used to make conventional congou black tea with the process of withering,rolling,fermentation,pre-drying,sun drying,low temperature drying,but without the high temperature baking step.This specific manufacture craft results in more activate substances in the sun-dried black tea and long-term storage in proper condition.With the extension of storage time,the sun-dried black tea could exhibit different levels of the aroma and taste,which overcome the short storage time of conventional black tea.This study provided new ideas for production and processing of black tea in Qingdao.
