Abstract
The present disclosure shows a particulate processed product of tea with quick dispersibility in water and a method for manufacturing a particulate processed product of tea. The processed product of tea comprises 20% by weight or less of fine powders having a particle diameter of 75 μm or less based on the total weight of the tea particles. The manufacturing method comprises the step of manufacturing tea particles using a fluid-bed rotor granulator having a rotor disc. The processed product of tea has quick wettability and dispersibility in water and thus is easy to drink. Also, the processed product of tea has a low angle of repose and thus has excellent flowability, so that it is easy to pack and use.
