This paper describes the experiments used to determine the kinetics of tea drying. New thin layer drying apparatus was designed and built to measure the very high rates of drying found at the start of drying, and the results show that the Lewis equation satis"es. The drying rate constant proved to b

High leaf temperatures during the withering process of black tea manufacture decrease the theaflavins, brightness, flavour index and sensory evaluation scores of black tea. Black teas manufactured with withering temperature above 30°C have high thearubigins and total colour levels but lack briskness
