Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Until now, there has been no food product that uses tea in its solid form as food. Tea here refers to green tea, Chinese tea, and black tea. However, it is a matter of chance that the taste of green tea in particular varies depending on the quality of the hot water in which it is poured.

For example, tap water tastes bad for tea, but well water tastes good. This is thought to be due to the ingredients in the tea combining with the disinfectant in the tap water.

However, when tea is used in solid form as in the present invention, there is no such fear and the quality is always constant. This tea furikake is made from dried tea leaves that are powdered, granulated, shredded, or once finely powdered and then hardened into tablets. It may be a food made by boiling tea in hot water and then drying the tea liquid, or it may be a food that is made by drying the tea liquid by any method and used as a solid.

By doing this, you can enjoy the benefits of tea even in places where there is no water, and you can easily mix it with other seasonings and eat it as a furikake or sprinkled on rice or bread.

Any seasoning can be used as long as it is dried.

In addition, if the furikake is pure tea without adding seasonings or other foods, you can enjoy the benefits of tea by pouring it over food. You can enjoy the benefits of traditional tea just by adding water, and if your traditional tea is too weak, such as tea leaves, you can easily sprinkle it on to create a strong-tasting tea. You can drink it as

The solid tea of the present invention may be made by powdering, shredding, or pulverizing tea currently available on the market, or by compressing, heating, or any other method such as compressing or heating raw tea leaves. It is okay to use tea leaves, but it is better to soften the stalks and veins of the tea leaves so that they are easier to eat when dry.

Alternatively, it may be made by letting the tea liquid flow out and then drying it. In short, tea can be eaten in its solid form, although any of the current food processing techniques can be used, such as cutting the tea into pieces, powdering the tea, extracting the tea liquid and drying it, etc. As of March 23, 1981, there is no food that can be eaten as a solid form of tea. Even if it is hot, the tea is not the main ingredient; tea is merely a seasoning or an additive, a secondary ingredient.

The tea of the present invention is a food product containing 10% or more of solid or solid tea.
