To provide the subject apparatus designed to prevent green tea leaves from riding on a trough plate and moving and enable the safe sampling even by a beginner by dividing a rotating broom of a fine rolling machine and installing a vertically movable rod for preventing green tea leaves from moving between the divided rotating brooms.

This apparatus for sampling in a fine rolling machine for green tea manufacturing is obtained by dividing a rotating broom and installing a vertically movable rod 12 between the divided rotating brooms 13 and 14 in the fine rolling machine for the green tea manufacturing capable of returning the green tea leaves dropped from the top surface of a rolling board 2 thereonto with the reciprocating brooms 6 and 7 and the rotating brooms 13 and 14 and carrying out the drying and reshaping processing. When the sampling is not required, the rod 12 for preventing the green tea leaves from moving is lifted upward and released. Thereby, the green tea leaves scooped up onto a trough plate 9 are placed thereon, carried to the center and charged onto the rolling board 2. When the sampling is carried out, the rod 12 for preventing the green tea leaves from moving is lowered downward so as to leave the green tea leaves scooped up onto the trough plate 9 on a bottom plate 10 of the trough. The sampling is performed so as to sweep, e.g. the green tea leaves on the bottom plate 10 into a sampling dish 15 with the rotating broom 13 and then place the green tea leaves in a sample receiving dish 16.
