発酵器の製作
毎年4月下旬から5月上旬にかけては新茶収穫のシーズンで、自家消費する1年分の乾燥茶葉をこの期間に製造している(激務)。最近は加工プロセスを変えながら、煎茶のみならずいろいろなタイプの茶を作っているが、こと紅茶についてはこの時季の当地の気温が本発酵工程に必要とされる雰囲気温度に満たない為、適度に加温することで発酵を促進し、より香り高い紅茶を作りたいところである。
まずは既存の所有機器の利用を考える。ホームベーカリーには生地の発酵モードがあり流用できそうにも思ったが、生茶葉を入れるにはいかんせん容量が小さい。古い電気炊飯器は容量はデカイが保温モードでも加熱温度が高すぎるだろう。
���の回りに適用できそうなものもないので、都合良い商品がないか��ンターネットで調べる。発酵器で検索すると多用途可能な物から特定用途のものまで様々有り、グレードも値段もピンキリだ。う~む、複雑な機能はいらないので、そこそこの収納容量があって温い温度を維持できるリーズナブルな製品はないものか。。。いろいろ探し回った結果、部品を買って自分で作ってやろうと相成った。
まずは加温する為のヒーター。そんなに熱くする必要は無く、爬虫類飼育用のパネルヒーター(上の写真左)を調達した。サイズは28cm×28cmで消費電力は28W。ボリュームで出力強度が変えられることや、それなりに防水性があるのも有難い仕様だ。価格は1900円。
そして一定の温度になるよう制御するためのコントローラー(上の写真右)。基本的に2つの設定温度間でON-OFF制御するだけの物だが、温度センサーも付いて1000円は安いと思う。AC100V駆動タイプなのでAC/DCアダプターも不要だし、直接出力方式なのも簡単で良い。
スーパーマーケットで貰った発泡スチロール箱(無料)の内部にパネルヒーターを敷き、給電コードを箱の外側まで引き出す。逆に温度コントローラーの温度センサーは箱内部に引き入れる。
温度コントローラーは箱の外側に取り付け、その出力コードをヒーターと接続する。次に給電コードをコンセントに接続するとLEDパネルに現在の測定温度が表示されるので、出力ONとOFFの温度をそれぞれ仮設定してヒーター制御が正しく機能するかをテストする。結果問題無し。
発酵プロセスにどれだけの時間を掛けるかは仕上がりに影響する重要な要素である。なので温度コントローラーの給電をダイヤルタイマー経由にして所定時間経過後に自動で加温制御を停止させる。このダイヤルタイマーはもう30年ほど前に購入した物で、最近その存在を思い出し押入から引っ張り出して液体蚊取り器の自動停止に利用していた。まだまだ現役だね(笑)。
発酵容器はアルミ製の鍋を流用。内径33cmの大きさは我が家のガステーブルでは使いづらく、数年戸棚の奥で眠っていたが、平らな鍋底とその広さがヒーターのサイズに抜群にフィットしたのと、15cmの高さが蓋をした状態でこの発泡スチロール箱に丁度収まったため採用となった。伝熱性も申し分無いだろう。
底部から加温するため、側面は放熱緩和のためアルミ保温シートを巻いた。
制御部も発酵容器も準備が整ったので、発酵させる茶葉を入れていく。ちなみにこの茶葉は収穫後20時間ほど軒下に吊し萎調させた後、手で揉捻して発酵しやすく処理した物。温度センサーは写真では茶葉の上にあるが、実際には茶葉の内部に突っ込んだ。
上部からの放熱も緩和するためアルミ保温シートを挟んでから鍋蓋を置いた。
発布スチロール箱の蓋も閉めたらダイヤルタイマーを回して加温制御をスタートする。
実際に茶葉を入れての最初の運転なので、温度がどのように変化するかLED表示を逐一観察した。ヒーターは最大出力設定で、停止温度は28℃の設定。スタートからじわりじわりと温度が上がっていくが、あるところから急に上昇スピードが増す。停止設定温度に達してヒーター出力はOFFになるもそのまま温度は上がり続け、さらに4℃ほど上がったところで落ち着いた。その後の温度下降はとてもゆっくりで、再びヒーターがON出力されるまでにはかなりの時間が経過した。ただ二度目は最初ほどの温度上昇に至らずに温度制御するようになった。これは最初の想定とは違っていたが、適温に至った時点で茶葉の発酵が一気に活発になって自己発熱が始まり、ある程度発酵が進むと発熱も終息するということが起こった結果だと推測した。
4時間後、ダイヤルタイマーが停止設定時間に達し加温制御が停止したため、蓋を開け茶葉の状態を確認する。先の状態と比較すれば多くの茶葉が赤褐色に変化し発酵が進んだことが伺える。ただこれが最終的にどのような品質の紅茶になるかは製茶してみないとわからないし、どのような制御を掛けると理想的な品質になるかは今後設定をいろいろ変えて見極めてい���なければならない。ちなみに可変要素は以下のようなところか。
・温度測定点(温度センサーの設置場所) 容器底/容器側面/茶葉内/茶葉上/容器空隙 ・制御温度(コントローラーの設定) ヒーターOFFおよびON温度 ・ヒーター出力強度(ボリュームで設定) 高/中/低 ・加熱制御時間 2~6時間 ・容器の保温性 高/低 ・前処理との関係
毎年製茶作業は実質2週間ほど行うが、そのうち紅茶は3日程度なので試行錯誤に数年は掛かりそうだ。まあ焦らず気長に取り組んで参ります(苦笑)。その間に何か他の物の発酵に利用するかも知れないけど。

𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔢 𝔐𝔢𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰- 𝔇𝔞𝔶 2: 𝔗𝔢𝔞
Summary:
Henry introduces Boris, Allison, and Tom to tea.
Rating: G/PG
<- Previous Part Next Part ->
Henry scanned over the instructions with a finger, gently tapping his foot to the soft jazz emanating from the phonograph in the corner of the bunker.
To his left sat Boris, Tom, and Allison. The trio were engaged in a round of Go Fish. Allison was calm and calculating, Tom looked ready to slice the table in half, and Boris just looked pleased to have someone other than Henry to play games with.
Henry reached over to fetch a jug of water. Audrey had offered to bring them some provisions from outside the machine; every day their store was growing larger and larger. He hated Audrey spending her hard-earned money on luxuries for them, but the young woman seemed unwavering in her generosity.
Today’s special edition to their kitchen were the ingredients to make a few steaming cups of teas. Henry poured half of the jug into the pot and turned on the stovetop. It would be nice to drink something other than ink. What would it taste like?
Once the water began to bubble, Henry pulled out some freshly washed lavender buds. Next, he grabbed a tea ball and placed the flora inside. Now, all he had to do was let it steep for 10 minutes.
A bang caused him to jump and turn his head towards the table. Boris had his cards deposited on the table, showing a few clusters of four matching cards. Tom had his mechanical fist on the table, ears drawn back in annoyance.
Allison had a smirk creeping up at the corners of her lips. “Well done, Boris. That’s your third win in a row,” She congratulated, setting a comforting hand on Tom’s shoulder.
Boris’s ears were perked. If he had a tail, Henry was certain it would be wagging right about now.
Henry chuckled as he stirred the pot with a ladle. “Boris understands these games like the back of his hand. It’s rare to get a defeat out of him.”
”I haven’t had time to brush up on my skills,” Allison replied as she began scrounging up the cards and shuffling them. “One more round?”
Boris nodded adamantly. Tom was still scowling as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
"Oh, come on, Tom. Just a few more rounds?" Allison pleaded. Tom took one look at her beseeching smile and gave a curt nod of acceptance.
Allison shot a swift glance over at Henry. "Want me to deal you in?"
"Maybe next round. The tea will take a little longer," Henry answered. An enticing aroma wafted from the pot. He'd never smelled something so pleasant like that before-- and if he had, it was nothing but a distant memory of someone he wasn't.
One round down and another victory for Boris. Henry cut the stove off and reached for the cupboards to fetch four teacups. Once he poured the steaming cups, next was a dollop of honey— per Audrey’s advisement.
“That smells amazing,” Allison complimented as Henry set the drinks down on the table and took a seat next to Boris.
Tom eyed the steaming cup and blocked Allison from taking hers.
The Angel gave the wolf a gentle smile and set a hand on his. “It’s not dangerous, Tom. We both know Audrey or Henry wouldn’t give us something unfavorable.”
Henry brought his cup to his lips and tried his best to ignore Tom’s hostile glare. Of course he didn’t put anything in the tea, but he knew saying so wouldn’t ease the wolf’s suspicions.
The herbal tea hit his tongue, sending a foreign feeling racing through his body. It was a shining beacon in comparison to bacon soup or anything else in the studio; most likely due to its lack of ink.
Allison had taken a sip as well, eyes widening. She put a hand to her chest. “Oh, wow. That’s real tea?”
Tom perked his ears and reluctantly snatched up his cup. After one swig, the wolf glanced around and began downing the cup in sizable gulps.
Henry and Allison smiled at one another. Boris coughed. Everyone turned their heads to find the wolf holding out the cup of tea at arm's length, his tongue sticking out and snout wrinkled.
Henry chuckled and took another sip. Already the drink felt like it had relaxed his muscles and eased his mind. What kind of magic did Audrey put in this?
Boris set down his cup with visible disdain and flattened his ears.
“Not a fan, Boris?” Henry inquired in amusement. “That’s alright. We have other options. One is sure to pique your interest.”

I asked my friends how long it takes for me to make tea
One friend immediately guessed 30 (close)
Then 15
Then 45
Another friend guessed 28 (the correct answer)
I asked them why they immediately went for higher numbers
"Cause ur a dumbass"

I was having dinner with my best friends from high school the other day and overheard one of my friends telling my friend's girlfriend about his tea making hobby and ngl this might just be the hobby I've been looking for.
Making art and music is technically a hobby of mine but it's at the intersection of hobby and work as it is my passion, but also because of that doesn't feel like an "unwind hobby" at times because I take it very seriously, even my "unserious" projects.
The Mega Man Battle Network memes are definitely an "unwind" hobby that I can do, but would require me to get meme ideas in the first place.
Making my own tea would be neat, though! Ever since I quit coffee, I've gotten more into drinking tea, I legit stocked up on tea before I left Berlin because of blends and flavours they only have in Germany. But I'm definitely curious to learn and the tips and tricks to making tea like people do with coffee! I was even jokingly thinking of releasing themed tea blends along with my music as merch but that would be an idea for a later stage lol

So fixated on either rigging up a tea stove (slash burner or warmer) or purchasing one!
I've been making ginger-cardamon chai as of late and it'd be a nice scene to be part of if I could have some tea on a low boil next to me while I sit with the computer.
EDIT: oh maybe even a trivet or a BRAZIER! coooooool yeah!

新茶2024
今年の春はやけに雨の日が多く、夏野菜の播種や圃場の整備が思うように進まない。それでも無慈悲に季節は進み、桜の花が落ちきった頃になると、家屋横の茶木レーンは一気に黄緑色の新芽を吹き出す。ああ、いよいよ忙しい時期がやってくる~(嘆)。
去年の茶木は極端に高く飛び出した枝が多かったが、従来の新茶収穫後の剪定に加え、秋にも長い枝を剪定したので、今年は葉の高さがかなり揃っている。
とは言え、少々展開が早く伸びた芽もあるので、それらを間引きがてら収穫し、一足早く新緑を味わうのは例年通りのルーチンだ。
自家製茶プロセスでは、去年からサーキュレーターが活躍中。これまで茶葉を加熱したあと団扇で扇いでいたけど、おかげで作業が少しラクになった。ちなみに麦類の脱皮作業でも大いに役立っている。
少し浅蒸しに仕上げた乾燥茶葉を、荒茶のまま試飲する。やはり早摘のものは青味や酸味が強くフレッシュな反面、渋味や旨味は薄め。若さも一つの魅力だけど、深いコクを出すのに相応の醸成時間が必要なのは人生にも通じるところ。およそ出鱈目に生きてきた人間が書くのも何だけど(笑)。
ちなみに今年の適期収穫では通常の緑茶をメインに作り、その半分はフル焙煎して焙じ茶にする予定(昨年作って旨かったので)。あと発酵器を自作して高品質の紅茶作りを試そうと画策中。
こちらの写真は数年前に茶の実から育て、傾斜地に定植した茶木。そこそこの大きさに育ち、新芽も沢山出てきたけど、もう少し枝を広げて大きくさせたいので今年の収穫は見送ることに。来年はこちらからも摘めるようになるだろう。
