To evaluate the processing adaptability of burdock (Arctium lappa L) tea, the physicochemical properties of burdock tea treated with steaming and roasting were investigated. The tea treatments included hot-air drying after roasting (HDR, drying at $60^{circ}C$ for 6 hr), steaming after hot-air drying (SHD, steaming at $100^{circ}C$ for 10 min), and steaming and then hot-air drying followed by roasting (SHDR, roasting at $250^{circ}C$ for 3 min). The physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of the HDR, SHD, and SHDR teas were measured in hot water, and the tea was extracted from each sample. The color values of lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were lower in the HDR and SHDR teas, and the total sugar content of the SHDR tea was significantly higher than that of the other teas. The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging abilities of the SHDR tea with a 500 mg% concentration were significantly higher than those of the SHD tea. In the sensory evaluation, the SHDR tea was ranked significantly higher than the other samples as to its color, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability. The results suggest that SHDR can be applied to burdock tea to achieve high quality and functionality.
