Jasmine tea, known as "in China's scented tea, you can smell the smell of spring", is a tea variety made by scenting jasmine with specially shaped tea leaves or refined green tea blanks. Jasmine tea still belongs to green tea in the classification of tea. Jasmine tea is processed on the basis of green tea, especially high-grade jasmine has certain physical and chemical effects in the processing. For example, polyphenols and tea tannins in tea are decomposed under wet conditions, and water-insoluble protein is degraded into amino acids, which can reduce the astringency when drinking green tea, change its function, and make it fresh, mellow and more palatable, which is one of the reasons why northern China likes to drink jasmine tea. All kinds of teas have similar health care essence, each with its own characteristics. Jasmine tea not only has some characteristics of green tea, but also has many health functions that green tea does not have. Jasmine tea has the characteristics of "dispelling cold evil and helping depression" and is the top grade of tea drinking in spring.

Such as catechins, vitamins C, A, caffeine, flavanols, tea polyphenols, etc. Jasmine tea also contains a lot of more than 20 kinds of compounds, such as aromatic oil, geraniol, orange pepper and syringoyl ester. Jasmine tea is made through a series of technological processes according to the unique adsorption performance of tea and the fragrance characteristics of jasmine. It not only keeps the rich and refreshing natural tea taste of green tea, but also contains the fragrance of jasmine. It is the best natural health drink in China and even in the world.

5k:Y # k; H5 F8 Tea Culture Forum (I) Principle and procedure of scenting scented tea

) T3 U p2 Y8 A scenting principle: The scenting process of scented tea is mainly the process of flowers emitting fragrance and tea embryo absorbing fragrance. The fragrance of jasmine is a biochemical change. Mature jasmine is decomposed into aromatic substances under the action of enzymes, temperature, moisture and oxygen. With the physiological changes, the flowers open and constantly spit out fragrance. Tea embryo absorbs fragrance through physical adsorption, and at the same time absorbs a lot of water. Chemical adsorption occurs due to the infiltration of water. Under the action of damp heat, complex chemical changes have taken place. Tea soup gradually changed from green to yellow to bright, and the taste changed from light to thick, forming the unique fragrance, color and taste of scented tea.

V" Q8 M% r6 z 1。 Drying: Generally, the tea embryo of scented tea should be dried. Objective: High-grade tea embryo exudes a dull and stale taste; The purpose of middle and low-grade tea embryo is to reduce the coarse and old taste, reveal the normal aroma of green tea and improve the fresh purity of scented tea. In general, the temperature of the dryer should not be too high. The high-grade tea embryo is at 100- 1 10℃, and the medium and low-grade tea embryo can be at10-120℃. The traditional technology requires that the moisture content of roasted tea embryo should be 4-4.5%, so it can't be roasted with fire, which is easy to produce burnt smell and affect the quality of scented tea.

Only when the temperature of tea embryo is higher than room temperature 1-3℃ can it have fragrance. If it is too high, it will affect the vitality and fragrance of jasmine and reduce the quality of scented tea. The lower the temperature of tea embryo, the better.

Flowers are usually picked after 2 pm that day, with large buds, high yield and good quality. After harvest, do not press tightly when shipping.

The purpose is: flowers generate heat due to pressure and respiration during transportation, which is not easy to be lost, so that the temperature of flowers increases, generally above 38℃ and 40℃. It is not conducive to the physiological activities of flowers, so it must be spread quickly to cool down, restore vitality and promote open fragrance. The cooling site must be well ventilated, and the flower pile should be thin when cooling, generally below 10cm. When the temperature is high, you can use a light fan to blow; Rain flowers should be diluted, blown away and evaporated, and can only be accumulated and maintained after the surface water is dry.

The suitable temperature for flowering is 32-37℃. Therefore, if the temperature is lower than 30℃, it is necessary to increase the temperature of flowers, and the respiration of flowers will release CO2 to generate heat, which will increase the temperature of flowers. When the temperature of the flower reaches above 38℃, it is necessary to open the flower, dilute and cool it, increase oxygen and promote the flower opening. When the temperature is high, it should be spread thinly, turned over and ventilated to prevent the flowers from deteriorating when the pile temperature is too high. General pile height 15-20 cm. Due to the low temperature in spring and autumn, the pile height is generally 30-40 cm, sometimes covered with cloth to keep the pile temperature and promote the flowers to bloom.

The purpose of screening flowers is not only to divide the size of flowers, but also to remove the pedicels of green buds; Through mechanical vibration, flowers can also be promoted to be open and healthy. After screening, the flowers should be stacked with weighing semicolons according to the predetermined amount of flowers in each batch. If the openness is not enough, it should be maintained. Uses of flowers: the head flower is used for jacquard, transfer and high-grade tea head; The second flower is used for the head. If the No.1 flower and No.2 flower are used in the same batch of tea, the No.1 flower should be used first, and then the No.2 flower should be used. They should not be mixed and perfumed separately.

Tea leaves and flowers are mixed and put into a wooden box (the size of the wooden box is 46×43×43cm, which is the No.2 standard tea box), and the flowers are called box scenting. Suitable for scented tea with few flowers or special flowers. Each box of tea leaves is about 5kg, and the thickness is 20-30cm. Boxes are arranged horizontally or stacked crosswise to promote air circulation. Make a circle of Camellia with bamboo slips, 40-60 cm high, and then pile them in the circle. It is called "hoarding goods" and is suitable for medium and mass production. The diameter of the coaming is 150-200 cm, and the amount of tea in each coaming is 200-300 kg. Put tea and flowers together and pile them directly on the ground to form a block flower, which is called a block flower or a pile flower. It is suitable for mass production, and it is piled into a rectangle according to different sites and quantities, with a width of 1- 1.2m and a length of 600- 1000kg/ pile.

Under natural conditions and normal temperature (32-37℃), the duration of jasmine fragrance can generally reach 24 hours. When flowers and tea are mixed together, the normal breathing is hindered to some extent, the vitality of flowers is shortened, and the duration of fragrance spitting is generally around 12 hours. From the observation and test, it can be seen that jasmine flower is in the period of exuberant fragrance within 5 hours after it begins to smell. At this time, the respiratory intensity is high, the loss of dry matter is also high, and the volatile aromatic oil is also fierce. So when the fragrance is strong, flowers and incense are fragrant. Therefore, mastering the openness of jasmine, quickly mixing and scenting, and making tea embryo fully absorb the floral fragrance are the key points of the whole scenting technology.

When the harvest time reaches 10- 12 hours, the flowers will lose their vitality. When the tea embryo absorbs water and fragrance to a certain state, it must be started immediately, and the tea and flowers must be separated by a flower picker, which is called flowering. The flowering order is "more fragrant first, then less fragrant, first high-grade tea, then low-grade tea". If the flowers can't bloom in time, under the action of water and heat, the flower residue will turn yellow and mature, showing a stuffy yellow smell and an alcohol smell, which will affect the quality of scented tea. If a large number of flowers are picked that day, and it is too late to pick flowers in a short time, you must open the flower pile to dissipate heat. Tea Culture Forum &; n! g#? 4 p) n5 N0 p
