Tea brewing
Tea is typically prepared in a tea brewing tank using raw materials such as tea leaves, sugar and water. The choice of tea is a critical factor in determining the flavor profile of the kombucha. Black, green,white,oolong and blended teas are commonly used. Each tea variety offers dofferent levels of tanning, antioxidants, and other compounds influencing taste and fermentation.
Tea diluting
Typically, freshly brewed tea is of higher concentration and temperature, which allows for mixing with brewing water at room temperature in a specific ratio. This not only cools the tea and facilitates subsequent fermentation, but also reduces the concentration and increases yield.
Primary fermentation stage
The diluted tea is pumped to the first stage fermenter. Typically, the fermentation tank at first stage in an open, flat-top, atmospheric pressure tank, and the tank body is designed with a large diameter and a low height for easy operation. The recommended fermentation temperature at this stage is 22-28℃, the optimal range for the process, and lasts approximately seven days.
Secondary fermentation stage
Once the initial fermentation process is complete, the tea is transferred to second-stage fermenters. These tanks are typically closed pressure vessels that look very similar to beer fermenters. Usually, the juice or puree is mixed with tea during the second fermentation stage. The fermentation temperature at this stage is usually around 15℃, and lasts approximately seven days.
Brite tank
The brite tank is often utilized to mix flavorings, initiate secondary fermentation, and carbonate kombucha before packaging and distribution.
