What is Oxidation in Tea?• Need to first go through a “withering” step to break the
cell membranes in leaves so as to activate the oxidation process.
• Green is rich in catechins, polyphenols that are stronger free radical scavengers than Vitamin C or E.
• During oxidation, several catechins combine to form a bigger molecule.
• Oxidation changes the more vegetable aroma of Green Tea to floral, fruity or even nutty aroma.
• Oolong Tea and Black Tea have the same antioxidant strength as Green Tea.
