摘要:
Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a green leaf tea product, the process comprising the steps of:—providing fresh tea leaves comprising catechins and active endogenous enzymes;—comminuting the fresh tea leaves comprising active endogenous enzymes under aerobic conditions sufficient to cause substantial bruising to the leaves;—inactivating the endogenous enzymes in the comminuted fresh tea leaves to substantially prevent fermentation of the fresh leaves;—and drying the comminuted fresh tea leaves to yield the green leaf tea product.
