PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vibrating conveyor for tea leaves, which can improve qualities of produced tea leaves by supplying tea leaves having a uniform tea leaf layer thickness to various tea manufacturing machines constituting a tea manufacturing line. SOLUTION: The vibrating conveyor 200 includes a foreign matter sieving part 203 for screening out foreign matters from a tea leaf layer conveyed along the floor of a trough 202 for conveying tea leaves from one terminal side to the other while storing tea leaves. A tea leaf leveling mechanism 210 for leveling the height of tea leaves conveyed and uniforming the tea leaf layer thickness at the upper side of the upstream of the foreign matter sieving part 203 attached to the trough 202. The tea leaf leveling mechanism 210 is constituted of a raking and leveling tool 211 for raking and leveling the upper layer part of tea leaves conveyed on the trough 202 and a rotary drive mechanism 212 for rotating and driving the raking and leveling tool 211. The raking and leveling tool 211 has a plurality of raking bars 211b composed of round bars extended radially on the outer peripheral surface of a shaft body 211a composed of a round bar.
