Description

[0002] Black tea is a kind of fully fermented tea, which is refined by a series of processes such as withering, rolling, fermentation and drying, using suitable fresh tea leaves as raw material, and withering is an important process in the initial processing of black tea. Black tea is called black tea in the initial processing, and it is named black tea because the tea soup and leaf bottom after brewing are red. During the processing of black tea, a chemical reaction centered on the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols occurs, and the chemical composition of fresh leaves changes greatly. Tea polyphenols decrease by more than 90%, new ingredients such as theaflavins and thearubigins are produced, and the aroma substances increase significantly compared with fresh leaves. Therefore, black tea has the characteristics of red tea, red soup, red leaves and sweet and mellow taste.
