DEDICATED DRYING MACHINES MANUFACTURERThe most popular class of tea outside of Asia is the most popular tea in the world. This incredibleleaf is known as Black Tea. The Chinese in their early color-based system of identifying tea by thecolor of its brewed liquor identified his as Red Tea.Black Tea is not fermented, it is oxidized. Complete oxidation creates this truly remarkable class oftea .In the production of black tea, the critical component necessary to effect an even and completeoxidation of the \"made tea\" (finished leaf) is the juice trapped naturally inside the tea leaf structure.How its juice is allowed to release from its native holding cells and the controlled chemical reactionsthat follow are the processes that make the manufacture of black tea so interesting.The actual processing of Black tea divides into two styles: Orthodox and Cut -Tear-Curl or Crush-Tea-Curl (CTC). Orthodox Black teas are those that we otherwise call whole leaf tea.They aregraded by size and the nomenclature varies by country.Grades of Orthodox TeaOrthodox Leaf is classified as Whole Leaf, Broken Leaf , Fannings and Dust and is graded by Leaf ineach class as indicated above.WHOLE LEAFSFTGFOP Special Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange PekoeFTGFOP Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange PekoeTGFOP Tippy Golden Flowery Orange PekoeGFOP Golden Flowery Orange PekoeFOP Flowery Orange PekoeOP Orange PekoeBROKEN LEAFGFBOP Golden Flowery Broken Orange PekoeFBOP Flowery Broken Orange PekoeDedicated Analytical SolutionsCorporate Office Tel +91-9643480893 Application LabKDM Analytical +91-9540666954 D-198, Mundka Industrial AreaB-2/41 First Floor, Rohini Delhi-110081Sector-16, Delhi-110089 Fax +91- 22612722 web www.kdmanalytical.comIndia E-mail sales [email protected]

DEDICATED DRYING MACHINES MANUFACTURERDifference between CTC Teas and Orthodox Tea ManufacturingInstead of undergoing the traditional rolling process, CTC teas are put into cutting machines thatchop the tea and distribute the cell sap over the surface of the finely cut bits of tea. Unlike theinternal cell sap changes brought on by the rolling of orthodox teas, the cutting machines do notallow for the natural internal changes within the leaf. After cutting, the tea is quickly rolled intogranular pieces and then moved to the oxidation room.The goal of CTC production is the opposite of that behind traditionally made orthodox tea. CTC teaswere created to fill the needs of tea bag packers, who desired that tea would be less bulky andthereby easier to use when filling tea bags. Subtlety of Style and Flavor is not the goal of CTC Teas.Rather these teas produce strong, gutsy and as some would say chewy cup of tea.Green TeaThe manufacture of green tea is all the more fascinating because there are several subcategories ofthe class. By describing the various styles of green tea, we show how their manufacture differs.The purpose of the first step in green tea manufacture is to prevent oxidation and to preserve itsappealing green color. The drying process also keeps the soluble solids of the fresh leaf`s juiceintact, inside the leaft structure, where they contribute to the flavor, possible astringency and overallhealthfulness of the tea manufactured. The fresh leaf that develops into green tea should be driedquickly, completely and thoroughly.Dedicated Analytical SolutionsCorporate Office Tel +91-9643480893 Application LabKDM Analytical +91-9540666954 D-198, Mundka Industrial AreaB-2/41 First Floor, Rohini Delhi-110081Sector-16, Delhi-110089 Fax +91- 22612722 web www.kdmanalytical.comIndia E-mail sales [email protected]

The manufactureof White Tea is an ancient process. White tea in its original, pure form consists of only the tenderunopened budsets of particular varieties of China tea bush plants that are cultivated especially forthis class of tea. White tea has a specific geographical terroir, style, flavor and definition.In white tea manufacture there is no de-enzyming, but there is slight oxidation. All types of white teaare believed to contain slightly less caffeine and fewer polyphenols than other forms of tea, but thisanalysis is difficult to duplicate consistently because of the many variables involved.Dedicated Analytical SolutionsCorporate Office Tel +91-9643480893 Application LabKDM Analytical +91-9540666954 D-198, Mundka Industrial AreaB-2/41 First Floor, Rohini Delhi-110081Sector-16, Delhi-110089 Fax +91- 22612722 web www.kdmanalytical.comIndia E-mail sales [email protected]

DEDICATED DRYING MACHINES MANUFACTUREROolong TeaOolong teas are made from large tea leaves and the finished tea varies in appearance, ranging incolor from rich chestnut brown to greenish gray. Some oolongs have long, slightly twisted leaves thatjust barely curl up on the ends, while other oolongs have been loosely folded, and still others havebeen compressed into small irregularly shaped balls. In most cases fine oolongs require severalinfusions for the leaves to unfurl to their fullest extent.Oolongs are truly the most complicated teas to manufacture. The key to making a successful oolongis in the processing-in the crafting of leaf. Oolongs are semi-oxidized and the range of oxidation isfrom 35 to 80 percent, latitude that allows tea makers to tweak the leaf into a tea that reflects theirown expression of style.Oolong teas possess a diverse and appealing range of sophisticated, complex, and richly rewardingflavors and aromas, such as peach, apricot, honey, orchid, melon, leather, amber and sandalwood.Their finish is long and sweet, with just a suggestion of astringency. Oolongs can commonly beinfused several more times once fully open, for a total of as many as eight or nine infusions. Oolongson the low end of the oxidation scale bear a resemblance to the tightly curled, tippy midseasongreen teas, and on the higher end they look just like a super-large individual -leaf orthodox black tea.Dedicated Analytical SolutionsCorporate Office Tel +91-9643480893 Application LabKDM Analytical +91-9540666954 D-198, Mundka Industrial AreaB-2/41 First Floor, Rohini Delhi-110081Sector-16, Delhi-110089 Fax +91- 22612722 web www.kdmanalytical.comIndia E-mail sales [email protected]
