To dry the fragrant squash Tea, winter melon Tea or tea from all kinds of vegetables and fruits, we need to cut it thinly evenly like the pictures above and below. There are vegetable cutting machines on the market so this job is very easy to do. Then, thinly sliced squash should be placed evenly on the drying tray so that the products dry evenly and effectively. The drying process will be quick and cost less to operate.
For herbal tea from all kinds of fruits and vegetables, you can use a Circulating Hot air dryer with the principle of convection and circulation heat drying, the drying temperature range of 35 – 95^oC is very suitable for common dried products. Dia Linh Cooperative is currently using the MSD3000 dryer model, which belongs to this multi-function dryer group.

For herbal tea from vegetables and fruits, if you need to dry it with high quality to supply to the higher-end market, you can use a heat pump dryer. The purpose of drying the product at a temperature lower than the ambient temperature is to keep the beautiful natural color, flavor and nutritional content higher than with hot drying. Hot-drying and heat pump drying both have the same characteristics: fruit and vegetable products will dry shrinkage, become solid, very suitable for making herbal tea, absorb water slowly and do not dissolve in hot water.

Currently, the development of the Cooperative production model in localities with the rich raw material sources has been very developed.
Depending on the available raw materials, such as vegetables, agricultural products, forest products, herbs, all kind of flowers… we choose a dryer to suit the product we want to sell to the market. For high-end products like yellow flower tea, lotus tea, mushroom,… you need to use a freeze dryer to dry to keep the product shape and color, but the price is high, so producers need to consider carefully, refer to Nghia tá Cooperative.
