Abstract: Along with tea industry in China has developed rapidly, key factor affecting sustained and rapid development of tea industry is progress of tea processing machinery．Tea processing machinery mainly includes withering equipment, fixation equipment, shaping equipment, fermentation equipment and baking equipment and so on．Scientific research achievements related to China's tea processing machinery in recent years were analyzed and summarized, status of research on tea processing machinery in China was reviewd, and problems of insufficient innovation in tea processing mechinery, failing to integrate of tea machine and tea art, and lacking in grafting with high technology were put forward．Research and development of standardized, systematic, continuous, standardized and highly automated tea processing machinery is core direction of China's tea mechanized production development, and also need to strengthen combination of emerging technologies and tea machine design, to create a real sense of digital production line．
