Plucking can be done by two ways:
PLUCKING
Hand Plucking• Standard plucking table is two leaves and a bud.• Longer the shoot considered to be course plucking. • High amount of tannin• High amount of caffeine• High amount of polyphenol oxidase• Less amount of moisture.

WITHERING
• Withering means partial removal of moisture of fresh leaf.
• Leaf consisting (74-80) % moisture and (20-26) % solid matters.
• After withering moisture level reduce down to (55-60) %.
• Helps in smooth operations of the rest manufacturing processes.
![Page 9: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Physical Changes In Withering:• Moisture loss
through stomata pore.
• Young leaves wither earlier than the old leaves.
• (3-4)% of solid substance of dry weight loss due to respiration
Physical Wither Can Be Achieved In 3-4 Hours But
Chemical Wither Requires 12-16 Hours.
![Page 10: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bio-chemical Changes In Withering :
• Increase polyphenol oxidase activates.
• Breakdown the chlorophyll and proteins to amino acids.
• Increase the level of organic acid.• Increase permeability of cell
membrane. • Oxidation of carbohydrates, fats,
& other soluble component to carbon-di-oxide, water and energy.
![Page 11: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Withering system:
• Natural withering: Includes chung or rack withering.
• Controlled withering: Includes drum, tunnel, trough withering.
![Page 12: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Withering Trough:
• Invented by the tea planter, Deson in Zaire.
• It made of bricks, concrete, wood or metal. And Consist of a long trough, single or double hot air flow system.
Working principle:A fan is provided with the
heating arrangement to flow hot air along the trough. Absorbing this heat, moisture presents in fresh leaf start being evaporated.
![Page 13: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Troughs Are Of Two Types –
• Open trough: In the open type of trough, leaf is spread at a given thickness and air is blown upwards from the bottom of the perforated bed.
• Enclosed trough: In the enclosed troughs the leaf bed is kept in an enclosed environment by raising the sides of the withering troughs and using a cover on top of the bed. This is designed to create a plenum chamber on top of the leaf bed as well. In this case the fan is always made to blow air only in the forward direction and air can be made to pass either from top to the bottom or from bottom to the top with damper and shutter control at the air entry and exit points respectively without reversing the direction of the fan. The chance of leaf damage in enclosed trough is much lower.

Field Tests For Perfect Withering:
• When a handful of fresh leaves squeezed and emit, a carking sound or stems break down indicates incomplete withering.
• When a handful of fresh leaves squeezed and emit, if it springs back, it indicates incomplete withering.
• If it retains its shape as a compact ball, it indicates well withered.

RollingRolling is a process to reduce the leaf size & disrupt the cell wall
and expose their contents to start the process of oxidation.
![Page 18: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Objectives of
Rolling :• Press out the juice from leaf in such a manner that leaf does not break up too quickly.
• Rupture the cell walls and mix the chemical components for subsequent fermentation.
• Make a homogeneous process of oxidative reaction.
• twist the leaf and give it the desired shape or appearance .
![Page 19: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Methods Of Un-orthodox Tea Rolling: • Lawrie the processor (L.T.P)• CTC(crush, tear & curl)• The rotor vane• The leg cut machine.• The boruah continuous roller.As CTC and the rotor vane machine
are widely used through the world, we are here gong to show you only these
two type methods.
![Page 20: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Principle of Working (CTC):
The triple process of Crushing, Tearing and Curling is done by the teeth on the two rollers moving against each other at differential speeds. The slower roller rotated with 70rmp and for the fast one with 700rpm. Preconditioned leaf is fed to the slow speed roller. The another roller imparts a relative motion between the surface of two roller with leaf in between. The leaf comes out though bottom- crushed, torn and curled.

Fermentation.
Is a process of oxidation of various
chemical constitutions of tea leaf through a
series of chemical reactions.
![Page 24: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Objectives Of Fermentation:• Oxidation of polyphenol.• Formation of Theaflavin
and Thearubigin.• Development of aroma
and flavor.
![Page 25: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Principal Reactions Process: The six catechins (a type of
polyphenol) present in tea shoots are.
• Catechin (C), • Epicatechin (EC), • Epicatechin
gallate(ecg), • Gallocatechin
(GC), • Epigallocatechin
(EGC), and • Epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG).
![Page 27: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
These catechins are oxidized by Polyphenol Oxidase(PPO) and form Theaflavin(TF) and
Thearubigin(TG).
Theaflavin is orange red in color and Thearubigin is red
brown in color.
Formation of Theaflavin and Thearubigin ratio is 1:10.
![Page 28: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Enzyme Dependent Reactions:
These reaction results: • The formation of theaflavin(TF) and Thearubigin(TG).• Development of aroma and flavor• Breakdown of chlorophyll• Change in carotenoids, organic acids and nucleotides.
![Page 29: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Basic reactions which occur during the formation of Theaflavins are-
EGC + EC + O2 = Theaflavin + CO2
EGCG + EC + O2 = Theaflavin-3 monogallate + CO2
EGC + ECG + O2 = Theaflavin -3'- monogallate + CO2
EGCG + ECG + O2 = Theaflavin 3'3' digallate + CO2
Theaflavin Monogallates Are More Brighter And Brisker Than Theaflavin
And Theaflavin Digallate Is Much More Brighter And Brisker Than Theaflavin
Monogallate
![Page 30: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Thearubigins (TR) are formed by action of peroxidase (PO) from the same catechins, but the reaction is much more complex. It is a complex mixture of carbohydrate, oxidized polyphenols, and nitrogenous compounds. TRs are also formed fromTFs. The chemistry of thearubigins is highly complex and their structures have not yet been established. When the TFs start getting oxidized to TRs, it has deleterious affect on quality. Thus the skill in carrying out the oxidation leads to formation of a right combination of TFs and TRs to give brightness, body and colour of black tea, but unless the epigallates are present in sufficient quantities, the desired TFs cannot be formed.

It includes the interaction of
oxidized polyphenols and sugars with amino acids, the
tanning or enzymes and other proteins,

Drying:The main objectives of drying
are: • To arrest enzymatic reaction
as well as oxidation, • To remove moisture from
the leaf particles and to produce a stable product with good keeping quality.
Mechanism of drying:1.Constant rate period: surface moisture removed by evaporation. 2. Falling rate period: core water removed by diffusion.
![Page 36: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chemistry Of Drying :
In the final stage of black tea processing following chemical changes take place: • By the deactivation of enzyme like
Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO), Peroxidase (PO), etc. almost all the biochemical reactions are brought to an end. However, as the temperature rises to the level for destroying enzymes, the particular enzymes get activated and faster reaction takes place in the initial stage of drying. If the temperature is raised slowly, TR is likely to be formed.
• Chlorophyll is degraded to pheophytin and pheophorbide at elevated temperature during drying contributing towards the blackness of made tea.
• At elevated temperature, by binding with proteins, Polyphenols make complex chemicals, which brings down the level of astringency.
• Interaction between carbohydrates with amino acids at elevated temperature leads to the formation of flavor components.

Shorting And Grading.
Removing fiber:
• The fiber extractor machine works on the principle of static electricity.• The pic roller in fiber extractor
machine acts as a positive charge and fiber acts as a negative charge, then both attract each other and fiber is collected from the roller.

Tea taster tastes each grade on different criteria like
mouth feeling and type of residue
Tea Tasting
• Physical appearance• Infused tea leaf• Taste.

Decoction :
About 2 gm of tea per 100 ml of water is weighed into porcelain pots provided with lids. Water, which has just reached boiling point, is then poured into the pots as quickly as possible. Speed is necessary at this stage to ensure that even the last tea for examination receives water, which is still boiling.Tea is allowed to infuse for exactly five or six minutes or whether exactly 2 gm of tea is added to each pot provided .
![Page 41: Tea manufacturing & processing for non orthodox tea](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050922/55b118c5bb61ebb0798b456f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Maximum amount of tea should be packed in the container because oxygen and moisture in the free space promotes bacterial growth and enzymes are regenerated affecting the TFs in particular. After filling, the containers should be closed promptly.
