Tea-drinking culture, which originated in China, has spread globally and remains a daily ritual for many. Over the years, tea consumption patterns have evolved, yet the love for this beverage persists.

Evolution of Ready-to-Drink Tea

In 1908, a tea merchant in New York unexpectedly discovered the convenience of ready-to-drink tea packages. These dried tea packages, easily transported, have become a staple, packaged in paper, cotton, and silk bags.

Process of Making Dried Tea

Producing dried tea involves several systematic steps:

1. Withering
2. Rolling
3. Fermentation or Oxidation
4. Drying
5. Cutting and Sifting
6. Packaging

Tea Pack Manufacturing Process

A tea pack manufacturing machine converts raw tea leaves into packaged tea bags ready for distribution through the following steps:

1. Feeding and Dosing
   • Raw Material Feeding: Bulk tea leaves are fed into the machine hopper.
   • Dosing System: Ensures the correct amount of tea leaves are measured and dispensed into the tea bags using volumetric or gravimetric methods.
2. Bag Forming
   • Bag Forming Roll: A roll of filter paper is fed into the machine.
   • Forming the Bag: The filter paper is folded, cut, and sealed to create a pouch.
3. Filling
   • Tea Filling: Measured tea leaves are dispensed into the formed tea bag, ensuring uniformity.
4. Sealing
   • Heat Sealing: The top of the tea bag is sealed using heat or ultrasonic sealing.
   • Thread and Tag Attachment: For tea bags with strings, a thread and tag are attached using a knotting mechanism or heat-sealing.
5. Cutting
   • Cutting the Bags: The continuous strip of filled and sealed tea bags is cut into individual units.
6. Packaging
   • Primary Packaging: Individual tea bags are wrapped in a protective envelope or foil.
   • Secondary Packaging: Wrapped tea bags are packed into boxes or cartons.
7. Coding and Printing
   • Date and Batch Coding: Batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry dates are printed on the tea bags or packaging.
8. Quality Control
   • Weight Check: Ensures each tea bag has the correct weight.
   • Visual Inspection: Automated systems inspect for proper sealing and uniform filling.
9. Output and Collection
   • Collection: Finished tea bags are collected for further packaging or direct distribution.
10. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Regular Maintenance: Ensures the machine is clean and well-maintained for smooth operation and to prevent contamination.
