Summary
The invention discloses use of pulsed electric field in black tea processing. Using pulsed electric field technology facilitates release of the water in the tea leaves through the cell wall. Moreover, application of centrifuge after the process of pulsed electric field enables to remove the water accumulated in the tea leaves. Since the amount of hot air required to remove the moisture remaining on the surface is much less than the amount consumed in the current art, energy is saved
