Drying Characteristics And Quality Attributes Of Black Tea Under Superheated Steam Drying

Drying Characteristics And Quality Attributes Of Black Tea Under Superheated Steam Drying

The balanced flavour of black tea can be achieved from its tea leaves drying process. However, conventional dryers used in the current tea industries consume a large amount of thermal energy that comes from firewoods as their primary source of heat. This eventually raises concerns on the environment...
