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...

The balanced flavour of black tea can be achieved from its tea leaves drying process.

The impact of SSD on the black tea drying process is still limited in terms of understanding the drying characteristics and mechanisms, quality attributes, and energy consumption.
