BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In order to receive tea leaves that have been conventionally harvested in a tea plant and perform tea processing, the tea leaves that have been conveyed and bagged by trucks or other vehicles are received in a hopper of an ascending conveyor for receiving. The fresh tea leaves before stocking are put in the fresh leaf management device and stocked.
The fresh leaf management device has a function of suppressing the temperature rise of fresh tea leaves, such as a blower, to maintain freshness, and sequentially sends out fresh tea leaves therefrom as the preceding steaming process proceeds. But,
Since the acceptance capacity for a single hopper on the ascending conveyor is not so large, a queue for this insertion is often performed. However, for example, it is not preferable that fresh tea leaves are left for a while in a bag-packed state from the viewpoint of maintaining freshness of fresh tea leaves because the temperature of the fresh tea leaves rises due to respiration heat of the fresh tea leaves. In order to solve such a problem, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 2541587 has been devised. This is a container provided with a ventilated endless belt-shaped conveyor at the bottom for temporarily receiving and storing fresh tea leaves before putting them into a hopper.

However, this method takes into consideration the convenience of feeding fresh tea leaves, and takes a form in which a floor surface in a receiving room of a tea factory is dug in a pit shape and fresh tea leaves are put there.
