How is Black Tea Produced?

Category: Food & Drink

Black tea is fully fermented tea. Black tea enhances enzyme activity through withering, and then through rolling and fermentation, a series of changes occur centered on the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols. Tea polyphenols are heavily oxidized and contain more theaflavins, thearubigins and theabrownins, which form the quality characteristics of red leaves with red soup.
