+31 314 373 333Tea is the most popular drink in the world, and the total production of tea leaves in the world is over 5 million tons per year. This accounts for around 2.5 billion cups of tea. Before we can drink it, tea has to go through a variety of processes. The leaves are harvested, withered and then rolled, which starts the fermentation that gives the leaves their characteristic taste.
After the delicate fermentation phase the leaves are dried, classified, packed and transported. Then tea manufacturers make their blends, typically in batch processes. This is where Hosokawa Micron comes in. Our Nauta® conical screw blender is a popular choice for gently blending tea leaves, tea components and for creating excellent blends of tea.
