Tea processing transforms freshly plucked tea leaves into dried leaves for brewing tea. There are six main types of tea which are the result of differences in processing, not the plant itself. The basic steps are plucking leaves, withering to remove moisture, disruption to promote oxidation, oxidation to change color and flavor, fixing to stop oxidation, shaping, and drying. Oxidation levels determine the tea type from no oxidation in green tea to full oxidation in black tea. Fermentation through microbial activity is also important for puerh and black teas.

1. Tea processing involves several steps including plucking, withering, rolling, fermentation, drying, sorting, and packing.
2. During plucking, two leaves and a bud are picked by hand for high quality teas during quality periods.
3. The plucked leaves undergo withering to reduce moisture content before rolling bruises the cells and exposes the sap.
4. Fermentation allows the rolled leaves to oxidize and change color before drying halts the process.
The document summarizes the orthodox tea production process in Sri Lanka. It begins with acknowledgments and an introduction. It then describes the following key steps in 3 sentences:
1. Withering removes about 45% water from green leaves using hot and cool air in withering troughs over 20-30 minutes.
2. Rolling subjects the withered leaves to rolling and separation into small particles over 4 rounds of rolling for 15-20 minutes each in tea rollers and roll breakers.
3. Fermentation occurs for 2-3 hours on fermentation beds, where important chemical reactions take place through exposure to oxygen, changing the leaves' color to brown.
Coffee originated in Ethiopia and was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. It spread through the Middle East and Europe via travelers and traders and was introduced to America by Dutch colonists. There are three main types of coffee plants grown for commercial purposes, and coffee is now cultivated in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula. The process of turning coffee beans into a beverage involves harvesting, curing, roasting, grinding, brewing and various methods at each stage can impact the flavor of the final coffee.
This is a ppt on tea processing. It also include types of tea, and also acknowledge about Orthodox and CTC methods of production of tea. This ppt also include the benefit and medical use of tea.
Tata Tea Ltd uses the following process to manufacture tea:

2. The leaves are withered for 12-16 hours to remove excess moisture.
3. Rolling machines are used to rupture the cell walls and shape the leaves.
4. The leaves undergo fermentation and oxidation to change their color from green to tan.
5. The leaves are dried using hot air to stop oxidation and change their color to brown.
6. The dried leaves are sorted, graded by size, quality checked, packaged and stored.
Coffee production involves several steps from planting coffee trees to harvesting coffee cherries to processing and drying the beans. There are two main processing methods - the dry method where cherries are sun dried and the wet method where cherries are pulped and fermented before drying. The beans are then milled, sorted, roasted, ground, and brewed to produce various coffee drinks. Common coffee drinks include espresso, Americano, latte, mocha, cappuccino, Turkish coffee, and filter coffee which are made by varying the coffee grounds, brewing methods and addition of milk or other ingredients.
Tea is an aromatic beverage made by pouring hot water over cured leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage worldwide. There are several types of tea defined by how the leaves are processed, with the most common being white, green, oolong, and black tea. Tea originated in China and later spread to other countries and cultures, developing varied preparation traditions over time.
The document discusses green tea and its health benefits. It provides details on the origin, production regions, types of tea including green tea, and the processing and components of green tea. Green tea contains catechins that can decrease blood cholesterol, reduce body fat, prevent cancer and tooth decay, and inhibit high blood pressure due to their antioxidant and antibacterial effects.
This document discusses different types of tea, including white tea, green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. It provides details on their production processes and health benefits. White tea comes from a specific plant variety and has not undergone much oxidation. It may help with weight loss and managing diabetes. Green tea is made from unoxidized leaves and can prevent food poisoning and cancer. Black tea is more oxidized than other teas and provides energy as well as cardiovascular and bone health benefits. Oolong tea is popular in China and contains vitamins and minerals; it can help with bone, oral, and diabetes health.
Green tea processing involves several steps including plucking, enzyme deactivation through steaming, rolling, and drying. Traditional drying methods include sun drying and shade drying but modern methods like convection drying, microwave drying, infrared drying, and hybrid processes are now commonly used. Microwave drying provides uniform and rapid heating but can damage tea leaves. Infrared drying also allows for fast, controlled, and uniform heating without contact. Comparison of drying methods found microwave vacuum drying produced the highest quality tea based on sensory attributes and rehydration ratio, though conventional methods can better retain certain nutrients like amino acids. Overall, modern methods can significantly reduce drying time but require more capital investment.
The document provides information about tea processing at Rathnayaka Tea (Pvt) Ltd in Sri Lanka. It discusses the history of the company and details each step of tea processing, including plucking, withering, rolling, and fermentation. The summary concludes with key facts about the company's current operations and export of black tea to Russia.
Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. The process begins with plucking the leaves by hand. The leaves are then withered to reduce moisture content. Next, the leaves are rolled or twisted to rupture cells and promote oxidation. The leaves then undergo fermentation where enzymes cause oxidation reactions that produce compounds responsible for the color and flavor of black tea. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled during fermentation. The leaves are then dried and processed into various tea products.
The document discusses the tea industry in India. It provides statistics on tea production in India over the past 5 years, showing that production has increased in North India but declined slightly in South India. It also shows data on the average prices of tea in North India, South India, and all India over this period, with prices generally declining. Some of the listed causes of price variation include competition, dependence on few export countries, closure of tea gardens, labor issues, taxes, and funding. Effects of price variation include closure of tea gardens, lower exports, higher production costs, and slower industry growth.
Indian tea has historically been a major export commodity, however exports have been declining in recent years due to factors such as price cuts by competitor countries, an increase in domestic consumption, and threats from competitors like Sri Lanka and Kenya. The document outlines India's position as a leading tea producer and exporter, and identifies opportunities and challenges for the industry.
CHEMISTRY OF TASTE AND AROMA COMPOUNDS IN TEA AND COFFEEKUSH VERMA
- Tea and coffee contain many chemical compounds that influence their taste and aroma. Tea is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, while coffee comes from coffee beans of the Coffea plant.
- Both contain antioxidants and caffeine. Their complex flavors come from hundreds of volatile compounds produced during processing as the leaves/beans are dried, fermented, and roasted.
- The main tastes detected on the tongue are sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and savory umami. Different compounds influence each taste, like sugars for sweetness and caffeine for bitterness.

Workers who produce coffee suffer from low wages, poor working conditions, and even slave and child labor. While most coffee is consumed in wealthy nations, it is produced by small-scale farmers in developing countries. Fair trade systems aim to promote social justice for farmers, but fair trade coffee still only accounts for a small percentage of global production. Some criticize Starbucks for claiming to support fair trade while purchasing less than 1% of its coffee through fair trade networks. The document encourages supporting local, fair trade coffee shops as an alternative to large chains.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by adding
cured leaves of the Camellia Sinesis plant to hot
water.
• The term also refers to the plant itself.
• After water, tea is the most widely consumed
beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly
bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.
3. ORIGIN & HISTORY
Before we proceed lets learn some thing
interesting about the history and origin
of this wonderful herb called tea.
Story of tea began in ancient China over
5,000 years ago. According to
legend, the Shen Nong, an early emperor
was a skilled ruler, creative
scientist, and patron of the arts.
His far-sighted edicts required, among
4. One summer day while visiting a
distant region of his realm, he and the
court stopped to rest. In accordance
with his ruling, the servants began to
boil water for the court to drink.
Dried leaves from the near by bush
fell into the boiling water, and a brown
liquid was infused into the water.
As a scientist, the Emperor was
interested in the new liquid, drank
some, and found it very refreshing.
Therefore, according to legend, tea
5. History Of Tea In India
• As we have already seen tea likely originated in China as a
medicinal drink and was first introduced during the 16th
century. Drinking tea became popular in Britain during the
17th century. The British introduced it to India, in order to
compete with the Chinese monopoly on the product.
Maniram Dewan (1806-1858) was the first Indian tea planter.
• The tea cultivation begun there [India] in the nineteenth
century by the British, however, has accelerated to the point
that today India is listed as the world's leading producer, its
715,000 tons well ahead of China's 540,000 tons, and of
course, the teas of Assam, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka ), and
Darjeeling are world famous.
6. Tea Producing States in India
• The major tea-producing states in India are :
The major tea production that takes place in our country, comes from the states: Assam, West
Bengal,
Kerala,
Karnataka,
Tamil
Nadu,
Tripura,
Arunachal
Pradesh, Himachal, Nagaland, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Bihar and Odisha.
7. Tea Cultivation
• Tea requires a moderately hot and humid climate. Climate influences yield, crop
distribution and quality.
• Climatic factors
- Rainfall: Distribution of rainfall matters a lot for sustained high yield of tea throughout the
season. In the North East India, the rainfall distribution is not even. The excess rainfall in the
monsoon months causes drainage problems. If this dry spell persists for a longer period, tea
plants suffer heavily and crop goes down in spite of having sufficient rainfall in the monsoons.
Thus, adequate rainfall during winter and early spring is crucial for high yield.
• Soil
-Tea grows well on high land well drained soils having a good depth. Shallow and compacted subsoils limit root growth. Tea plants growing on such soils are liable to suffer from draught during
dry period and water logging during the rainy months. The depth of ground water table should
not be less than 90 cm for good growth of tea.

•two young leaves,
•Camellia sinensis bushes
• early spring and
•early summer or late spring.
10. 2. Withering/ Wilting:
•gradual onset of enzymatic oxidation.
•used to remove excess water from the leaves and
allows a very slight amount of oxidation.
•put under the sun o
• left in a cool breezy room to pull moisture out from
the leaves.
11. 3. Disruption:
•"disruption"
or "leaf maceration“
• the tea leaves are bruised or torn
•lightly bruised on their edges
•by shaking and tossing in a•bamboo tray or
•tumbling in baskets.
12. 4. Oxidation / Fermentation:
•leaves are left on their own in a climate-controlled room
•they turn progressively darker.
•this is accompanied by agitation in some cases.
•the chlorophyll in the leaves is enzymatically broken down.
13. 5.Fixation / Kill-green:
•done to stop the tea leaf oxidation
•moderately heating tea leaves
•deactivating their oxidative
enzymes
•removing unwanted scents in the
leaves
• without damaging the flavour of
the tea
14. 6. Sweltering / Yellowing:
Unique to yellow teas
• warm and damp tea leaves from after kill-green
•allowed to be lightly heated in a closed container
•which causes the previously green leaves to turn yellow.
•
15. 7. Rolling / Shaping:
•The damp tea leaves are then rolled to be
formed into wrinkled strips
•by hand
• or using a rolling machine which causes the
tea to wrap around itself.
•This rolling action also causes some of the
sap, essential oils, and juices inside the leaves
to ooze out
• further enhances the taste of the tea
16. 8. Drying:
•Drying is done to "finish" the tea
for sale.
• This can be done in different
ways includingA. panning
B. sunning
C. air drying
D. baking- baking is usually the
most common.
17. 9. Aging / Curing:
•some teas required additional aging
•secondary fermentation, or baking to reach their drinking
potential.
•flavoured teas are manufactured in this stage
21. 4. Use fresh water. Stale water makes
stale tea.
22. 5. Make sure you warm your tea pot before
adding hot water and tea leaves.
23. 6. Steep the tea in water that is neither
under boiled nor over boiled.
24. 7. Use one teaspoon teabag of tea per
person and one extra for the pot.
25. 8. Let the tea infuse for the right
amount of time.
26. 9. Use teapots made of
Earthenware, Stainless Steel and China.
Avoid ones made of Tin.
