Herbal tea production method / 2403798
Invention relates to herbal teas production technology. Birch leaves (70-80%) and melilot herb (30-20%) are used as raw material. Immediately before mixing, young dried birch leaves (procured in spring) are treated with pungent water steam at a temperature of 102-110°C during 1.5-3.5 minutes, forced cooled and milled; then they are mixed with fresh-cut melilot herb in a drum mixer during 12-15 minutes, fermented for 50-80 minutes, granulated and fermented again for 2.0-2.5 hours at a relative air humidity of 90-95% and a temperature of 30-35°C; then the mixture is dried to a residual moisture of 5-6%.

Improved tea production method / 2401607
Invention relates to a method of production of a leaf tea product. The method envisages the stages of fresh tea leaves provision; fresh tea leaves aroma extraction; fresh tea leaves drying for a leaf tea product obtainment. The aroma is extracted at least during partial fresh leaves drying in a low convection drier.

Grain tea production method / 2399287
Grain tea production method envisages soaking wheat or barley grains in water in a container for 4-5 hours, maintenance in air medium, laying the grains in a thin layer on a grid surface for 19-20 hours. After that the procedures of soaking and maintenance are repeated twice for wheat grains and thrice for barley grains. Then the grains are dried till a 22-24% moisture content for 10-12 hours, temperature slowly rising from 40 to 80 °C. After drying the grains are fried; glume is separated from kernel; the grains are ground and mixed with a dry milk product and salt. For consumption the grain tea is infused with hot boiling water in an amount of no more than 15-20 times the weight of the product.

Phytotea (versions) / 2397663
Invention relates to manufacturing products with increased biological activity. The phytotea additionally contains a filler represented by a sorbent and a flavouring agent with the dry component represented by buckwheat and/or rice husks; the phytotea components are taken at a certain ratio.

Tea production method / 2396760
Method of a tea product preparation implemented as follows. One collects tea plant material including stem material and leaf material. Stem material is separated from leaf material to obtain a material with a high stem content. The separated material with a high stem content is fermented and dried to produce a tea product with a high stem content. The tea extract preparation method involves the following stages. Then the material with a high stem content is brewed to produce a tea extract.

Polyphenol containing composition and isomaltose preparation / 2391863
Invention refers to chemico-pharmaceutical industry and food industry, and relates preparation for human or animal using. It includes 0.1-10 wt % composition, containing polyphenol with at least 90 wt % of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (counting on dry substance of composition containing polyphenol), and 30-80 wt % of isomaltulose for disguise of unwanted taste components, especially bitter substances in preparations, especially in preparations containing tea extract.

Tea extract soluble in cold water / 2379907
Tea product is suggested which is soluble in cold water and its production method. Method includes extraction of the material with water to produce tea extract and removal of tea leaves from the tea extract. The tea extract without tea leaves is then concentrated, the extract is cooled, tea cream is removed from the tea extract to produce tea cream fraction and decreamed tea fraction. After that the tea cream fraction is dissolved in water at 40-100°C foolwed by ultrafiltration causing formation of permeate and retentate and extraction of permeate.

Method for producing of tea substitute from cereals / 2245063
