Instant tea premix: know about our tea premix powder mixer
The process
Tea is the most popular beverage in the world and the total global production of tea leaves is over 4-5 million tonnes per year. But before we can drink it, tea has to go through several processes. The tea leaves itself are harvested, withered and then rolled, which starts the fermentation that gives the leaves their characteristic taste.
Instant tea premix powder is made from the liquor extracted from tea leaves, the unfermented tea leaf mass and other parts of the tea shrub. Nano-level extraction technology is applied to break the cell walls of the tea leaf, thereby extracting the beneficial components inside tea cells. This gives the pure tea extract a perfect clear tea soup, mellower tea aroma and an unforgettable sweet after taste. After the delicate fermentation phase, the leaves are dried, classified, packed and transported for further process. Nutrition in pure tea premix is more scientifically blended.
Role of Alphie
Then tea manufacturers make their blends, typically in batch processes and adding powders of different bulk density and nature too. This is where Alphie comes in. Alphie 3D powder mixer is a popular mixer for homogeneous blending of tea leaves and tea components. Instant tea powder has a base combination of tea, sugar and other ingredient which then goes under a process called Premix. After that it is called as “Instant tea premix“.
While mixing tea premix it’s important to consider the brittle nature of the tea particles. Besides that, the initial particle size distribution in a batch contains fine powder as well as particles up to several millimeters. This distribution will have to remain unchanged, spread evenly throughout the premix mixture. For creating tea containing aromas, additionally flavor powder will be introduced which has to be dispersed evenly throughout the entire mixture. The ideal mixer for creating aromatized tea is a Alphie 3D Mixer. Our various models are typically equipped with fixed drum and removable drum options and it can be customized with liquid injection during mixing.
