Fermented Tea Obtained By Tea-Rolling Processing Of Tea Material Leaves And Loquat Leaves, And Composition Having Extract Contained In Fermented Tea As Active Component

A crude tea obtained by employing as a raw material a fermented tea obtained by tea-rolling processing of tea material leaves and loquat leaves characterized in that the fermented tea is produced by primary-drying tea material leaves by means of a primary tea rolling dryer (primary drying step) to reduce a moisture content while stirring with hot air;

• subsequently, providing the primary-dried tea material leaves in a tea roller (tea rolling step);
• adding loquat leaves during the tea rolling step in order to knead loquat leaves together with the tea material leaves;
• and drying the kneaded tea material leaves and loquat leaves to carry out a drying step at the same time as stopping fermentation by inspiring hot air.

A refined tea obtained by refining a crude tea obtained by employing as a raw material a fermented tea obtained by tea-rolling processing of tea material leaves and loquat leaves characterized in that the fermented tea is produced by primary-drying tea material leaves by means of a primary tea rolling dryer (primary drying step) to reduce a moisture content while stirring with hot air;

• subsequently, providing the primary-dried tea material leaves in a tea roller (tea rolling step);
• adding loquat leaves during the tea rolling step in order to knead loquat leaves together with the tea material leaves;
• and drying the kneaded tea material leaves and loquat leaves to carry out a drying step at the same time as stopping fermentation by inspiring hot air.
