Clonal plain black tea quality parameters responses of hard physical withered leaf to rehydration and fermentation durations
(2016-04-16)
Hard physical withers in tea processing result in reduced plain black tea quality
parameters, but improve flavoury black tea quality. Chemical withers with minimal moisture
