Description

 The invention relates to the tea industry of the food industry and can be used in tea factories during the off-season, as well as in specialized workshops of food processing plants or other industries.

 Known phytotea, consisting of ginkgo leaves, persimmon leaves and pine needles (see US Pat. US 4683140, A 23 F 3/34, 07.28.87). However, the presence of rare plants in this herbal tea makes it difficult to reproduce, in particular in our country.

 Known phytotea, including meadowsweet, St. John's wort, catnip, elsgoltia, mint, clary sage, jujube, fermented incense (see US Pat. RF 2003256, A 23 F 3/34, 11.30.93). This herbal tea is quite pleasant, but includes a significant number of components that are difficult to determine its preventive focus.

 Known phytotea, containing in its composition at certain ratios various medicinal plants (see US Pat. RF 2142235, A 23 F 3/34, 01/20/2000), and along with a fairly large number of plants there is the presence of senna, that is, cassia or Alexandria sheet. This composition allows you to get a drink aimed at maintaining the tone of the body at a certain time of the day: morning, afternoon and evening.

 However, given the fact that the purpose of this famous drink is in a therapeutic and prophylactic orientation, its organoleptic characteristics leave much to be desired.

 The closest is a herbal tea containing granules of tea or beans, or coffee, or cocoa, or blackcurrant, or herb, and as a flavoring and flavoring component, a natural or identical to the natural component of jasmine, rose, lemon, orange, blackcurrant, tea leaves, chocolate or coffee containing dextrose or acacia gum, bergamot oil, lime peel, orange or tea leaf seeds (see U. S. Patent 1564001, A 24 F 3/14, 02.04.80).

 This herbal tea does not have any specific therapeutic and prophylactic focus in combination with the possibility of everyday ordinary consumption of herbal tea, as a drink, replacing traditional tea.

 The objective of the present invention is the creation of not only a prophylactic agent, but a pleasant drink - tea with the properties of biologically active additives - dietary supplements.

 To solve this problem, a herbal tea composition is proposed, consisting of a plant base containing 40-70% of hibiscus petals and 20-35% of cassia, as well as a flavoring agent in an amount of 0.1-40%. Moreover, if the flavor is used identical to natural, that is, all kinds of essential oils, extracts, essences, syrups, etc., then its amount should be up to 10%, in case of using natural fruit or fruit flavor its content is up to 30%, and in case of use flavoring in the form of aromatic herbs, the content is up to 40%.

 Moreover, as a flavoring it may contain raspberry, or strawberry, or strawberry, or cherry flavoring, or mango flavoring, or forest cocktail flavoring, or blueberry flavoring, or orange, or mandarin, or mandarin-orange, or lemon, or apple or rose hip, or peach, or apricot, or black currant, or banana, or melon, or pineapple, or pear or blackberry, or “tropical mixture”, or nutmeg, or “wild berry”, or a mixture of at least two of these flavors.

 In addition, as a flavoring, it can contain aniseed grass, or English mint, or curly mint, or large mint, or field mint, or long-leaved mint, or common chandra (horse mint), or lemon balm, or catnip, or oregano common, or oregano white, or a mixture of at least two of these herbs.

 Cassia is narrow-leaved or holly, or the Alexandrian leaf, or senna contains anthraquinones - linked by glycosidic bonds and free. Among them are annoside A, sennoside B, as well as anthro derivatives - rhein, aloeemodin, emodin, flavonoids, chrysophrane, palmitic, salicylic, stearic and other organic acids, traces of alkaloids, resins. Mercylic alcohol was found in narrow-leaf cassia. The content of anthraglycosides in cassia narrow-leaved leaves reaches 3.7%.

 Chinese medicine uses cassia narrow-leaved leaves in small doses to improve appetite, as a laxative for edema, glaucoma, oligomenorrhea, externally for conjunctivitis, pyoderma, etc.

 However, like all laxatives containing anthraglycosides, cassia is not recommended or limited in its use for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for bowel obstruction. For all other categories of the population by age and physiological characteristics, cassia leaves are acceptable both in compositions and in pure form.

 Hibiscus - red mallow or Sudanese rose or hibiscus tea contains various organic acids, rubbery substances, flavonoids, neutral and acid polysaccharides, including arabinose, ramnose, galactose, traces of xylose, and galacturonic acid. The seeds contain a fatty oil of 11-23.8%. Hibiscic acid detected.

 The plant has antibiotic properties against Staphylococcus aureus, it is used as a diuretic, as a diaphoretic for skin diseases, etc.

 In African folk medicine, they are used as an anticonvulsant, bactericidal, diuretic, choleretic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory drug, as well as for weeping eczema.

 In the tea industry, the proposed herbal tea composition is not known, which allows us to talk about the novelty of the invention.

 The new properties that appear in the combination of cassia and hibiscus in the presence of flavorings are that with the regular use of this herbal tea, weight loss is observed, although, as mentioned above, Chinese medicine uses cassia to improve appetite, therefore, we can conclude that new unexpected properties from the combination of cassia and hibiscus in this composition.

 Thus, the present invention meets the condition of patentability - inventive step.

 The ingredients used in the composition are known for use in the food and medical industries, which allows us to talk about the industrial applicability of this composition.

 The essence of the invention is illustrated by examples of implementation.

Example 1
"For the production of Herbal tea" Lose Weight "in a blending drum mixed petals of hibiscus in the amount of 100 kg and grass of cassia in the amount of 60 kg. The raw materials had the same particle size distribution - the particle sizes were about 1 mm. During the mixing process was continued for 6 minutes to activate the aroma of orange and uniform distribution of particles between each other.The resulting product was Packed in bags of disposable tea leaves weighing 2 g

The drink obtained from brewing the obtained product has a pleasant aroma of meadow herbs, is pleasant to perceive, and in addition, it helps to reduce weight with regular consumption. "
