Killing

Killing plays a decisive role in the quality of green tea. Through high temperature, destroy the enzyme properties of fresh leaves, stop the oxidation of polyphenols to prevent the leaves from reddening; at the same time, evaporate part of the water inside the leaves, make the leaves soft, and create conditions for kneading and shaping. With the evaporation of water, fresh leaves with grass gas in the low-boiling point of aromatic substances volatile disappear, so that the aroma of tea leaves to improve.
