The invention concerns a process for preparing a tea in a drinking receptacle with a tea brewing machine, said machine being configured: to brew tea from a capsule, said capsule comprising tea leaves, by introducing hot water in said capsule and IC dispensing brewed tea from the capsule in the drinking receptacle, andto pump and heat water and dispense hot water to the capsule, N wherein said process comprises a step of pasteurization of tea leaves inside the capsule before dispensing brewed tea from the capsule inside the drinking receptacle, wherein said pasteurization step comprises the sub-steps of: p1)introducing hot water in the capsule until all the tea leaves are submerged by hot water inside the capsule and stopping water introduction before tea is dispensed therefrom in the drinking receptacle, then p2) keeping all the tea leaves submerged in hot water during a period of time, wherein the temperature of hot water introduced in sub-step p1) and the sum of the periods of time of sub-steps p1) and p2) before dispensing tea from the capsule are set to pasteurize the tea leaves comprised in the capsule.

A grinder for preparing brewing materials has a main casing, a grinding assembly and an unloading assembly to measure the amount of the brewing powder to unload. The unloading assembly has an unloading motor and a measuring barrel. When the user puts the brewing materials into the main casing, the grinding assembly grinds the brewing materials into the brewing powder. The brewing powder drops into the unloading assembly. When the unloading motor actuates the measuring barrel rotates, the brewing powder is deposited in a partafilter. Therefore, a user can grind tea leaves, Chinese herbal medicine, the petals and so on to have fresh brewing powder. Brewing liquids with the fresh brewing powder keeps the nutrient content and flavor. In addition, the bags for packaging the brewing powder is no longer needed to reduce environmental pollution and packaging cost.

A leaf bruising machine and method for tea comprises frame, bruising basket, rotating door, locking assembly, and drive control mechanism. Bruising basket is rotatably disposed on frame, and has feed, discharge opening, and accommodating cavity. Rotating door is arranged at bruising basket outer side. Position limiting hole is provided on rotating door. Bruising basket rotates relative to rotating door. Rotating door blocks or opens feed and discharge opening. Locking assembly comprises spring-loaded ball latch and electromagnetic switch. Drive control mechanism comprises rotation drive device and controller. Rotation drive device is connected to bruising basket to drive bruising basket rotation. Leaf bruising machine bruises tea leaves. When feed and discharge opening is opened or sealed, bruising basket and rotating door is locked by electromagnetic switch and spring-loaded ball latch cooperation. Automated opening and closing of rotating door, and feeding, discharging, and bruising process control is enabled to improve efficiency.
