PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a tea meal treatment device and a tea meal treatment method capable of preventing an increase in the viscosity of conveyed water by a simple method. SOLUTION: A tea starch processing apparatus (1) according to the present invention has a liquid feeding unit (2) capable of integrally delivering tea cake (T) and conveyed water (Wc) from a liquid feeding unit (2). The solid-liquid separation unit (3) capable of separating the delivered tea cake (T) and the conveyed water (Wc) and the liquid (Wf) separated by the solid-liquid separation unit (3) are collected and sent. An enzyme agent (1) comprising a recovery unit (4) capable of recirculating to (2), wherein an enzyme agent containing at least a starch-degrading enzyme can be added to the transport water (Wc). It is characterized by further including an additive portion (5). [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
