Powder tea
Create smooth, aromatic tea blends with consistent particle distribution and minimal breakage—essential for premium quality and flavour. Hosokawa’s Nauta® conical screw blender offers a proven solution for gently blending whole or cut tea leaves, herbs and botanicals. The result: preserved structure, aroma and integrity across every batch, with excellent batch-to-batch consistency.
Whether blending black, green, herbal or flavoured teas, our advanced mixing technology ensures homogeneous results without damaging fragile particles. Liquid flavourings, oils or extracts can be added evenly via optional spray systems. Combined with fast, dust-free discharge and hygienic design, these systems are ideal for producing high-grade tea blends that meet both sensory and processing demands.
Process
Homogenizing Tea Blends
Tea leaves are naturally brittle and vary in size—from fine dust to curled leaves or coarse cuts. Maintaining this distribution during blending is essential to ensure even flavour and appearance. The Nauta mixer handles these challenges with a low-shear, convective mixing action that prevents breakage and preserves quality. It’s particularly well-suited for delicate, high-value tea blends where consistency is key.
For flavoured teas, liquids such as essential oils or extracts can be introduced via spray nozzles in the central shaft, ensuring even dispersion without clumping. A typical configuration includes a side outlet for fast discharge and a large access hatch for easy cleaning and visual inspection. The system can also be adapted for hygienic or food-grade requirements to support product safety and traceability.
