Abstract: As an important process of tea preliminary processing, drying technology was of great significance for tea sensory quality. With continuous dissipation of water in the drying process, the endoplasmic components and the physical characteristics were also dramatically changed under the effect of heat and force. The author expounded the principle and characteristics of drying technologies at the preliminary processing of tea in China, pointed out that the development tendency would be from single technology to combined application of technology, and put forward the suggestion like perfecting the fundamental research of combined application of drying technology and the online inspection of water content of drying articles being processed, thus provided ideas for future research and development of drying equipment and tea drying technology.
