What are green leaves and red edges? What do you mean by green leaves and red edges?

1, the red edge of green leaves refers to oolong tea, which will be properly fermented during production to make its leaves slightly red. Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea between red and green tea, which has both the freshness of green tea and the sweetness of black tea. Because its leaves are green in the middle and red, it is called green leaves and red edges.

2. During the production of oolong tea, running water fermentation is needed. In order to let water flow out of plant cells, a "gap" was naturally opened in this wall. As we all know, flowers, leaves and plants are as delicate as little girls. You need to be gentle at first.

3. If the tea leaves are too rough at this stage and cause a lot of damage and injury to the leaves, don't talk about escaping from the water. On the contrary, water will be damaged and stimulated by leaves too much, which will lead to wound convergence and even more water will stay in leaves. This kind of leaf can't walk in water. So there was the action of "shaking the green".

4. Tea makers will carefully spread the tea leaves on the water curtain, and the water curtain will constantly rotate and turn up and down, so that the tea leaves will collide and rub against each other. Under the repeated shaking of the tea maker, the tea leaves gradually become soft, some tissues of leaf edge cells are damaged, air enters, polyphenols in the tea leaves are oxidized, and the edge color gradually deepens, so this pleasing red edge appears.
