The present invention provides a method of fresh tea leaves withering by light irradiation, which is to irradiate the fresh tea leaves using artificial light, such as LED, OLED, and fluorescent light, in a controllable closed environment to facilitate the accumulation of aroma and flavor substances in the leaves. The method can be widely applied in the production of partially fermented teas, such as Oolong tea, Oriental beauty tea, and Tieguanyin tea, etc., and fully fermented teas, such as black tea. The present invention can fully develop the aroma and flavor of tea raw material itself, and break the limits of climate and day-and-night in tea making to enhance the efficiency of tea making and the tea quality.本發明為一種光照茶菁萎凋方法,其係在環境可調控之密閉環境中,以人工光源(如:LED、OLED、日光燈)照射茶菁,使之利於葉片內部香氣及滋味物質累積,可廣泛應用於部分發酵茶(如:烏龍茶、東方美人茶、鐵觀音等)及全發酵茶(如:紅茶)之製作。本發明能充分發揮茶葉原料本身之香氣及滋味,並且打破製茶氣候及晝夜的限制,藉以提升製茶效率及茶葉品質。
