Green tea is made from Camellia sinensis leaves that are steamed and rolled to prevent full oxidation. It has a light color and delicate taste. Health benefits include antioxidant effects and reduced risk of some cancers. Tea tasting involves smelling, slurping, and spitting out tea to evaluate aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel without consuming large volumes. Modern sorting machines use sieves and fiber extraction to separate tea particles by size and density. Tea should be stored away from light, heat, moisture, odors, and air in opaque containers to preserve freshness for 1-2 years.
CHEMISTRY OF TASTE AND AROMA COMPOUNDS IN TEA AND COFFEEKUSH VERMA
- Tea and coffee contain many chemical compounds that influence their taste and aroma. Tea is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, while coffee comes from coffee beans of the Coffea plant.
- Both contain antioxidants and caffeine. Their complex flavors come from hundreds of volatile compounds produced during processing as the leaves/beans are dried, fermented, and roasted.
- The main tastes detected on the tongue are sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and savory umami. Different compounds influence each taste, like sugars for sweetness and caffeine for bitterness.

Tea is an infusion prepared from the leaves, flowers, or roots of the Camellia sinensis plant. It originated in China but was introduced to Europe by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Portugal pioneered tea cultivation and consumption in Europe beginning in 1750 on the Azores islands. The traditional British "tea party" was introduced by Catherine of Braganza, a Portuguese princess, when she married King Charles II of England. While tea contains substances like fluoride and caffeine that can be harmful in excess, it also contains beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols that promote health. The document discusses the history and cultivation of tea in Portugal and the Azores as well as its various types and health effects.
Chinese tea has a long history. Legend says tea was discovered by Shennong in 2737 BC when tea leaves accidentally fell into boiling water. For a long time, tea was used as an herbal medicine in China. Lu Yu's classic book The Classic of Tea, written in the 8th century, recorded ways of cultivating, preparing, and drinking tea. Chinese tea culture emphasizes harmony with nature and reflection. Tea plays an important role in Chinese daily life and is considered one of the basic necessities.
Tea is prepared from the leaf bud and top leaves of the Camellia sinesis bush. It contains about half the caffeine of coffee and aids relaxation while stimulating the nervous system. Tea was discovered over 5,000 years ago when leaves fell in boiling water. Major tea producing countries include India, China, Sri Lanka, East Africa, and Indonesia. Tea should be stored in a dry, covered, well-ventilated container away from odors. The manufacturing process involves withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. Main types are black, green, and oolong teas.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a cultural activity where matcha powdered green tea is prepared and served. Zen Buddhism influenced the ceremony's development. The ceremony uses various tea equipment, including tea bowls, tea caddies, tea scoops, and tea whisks, which are handled with care.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.

They use a lot of fertilizer on the varieties
that give a punchy taste (the varieties that
are mostly used for matcha and gyokuro)
and produce a lot of tea with a strong taste.
Because the tea is steamed briefly, it is
easy to distinguish the different flavors.
The high-grade teas, such as gyokuro and
matcha (green tea), are produced very
much here.
It is grown on a plateau and the area under
cultivation is relatively large, making
harvesting efficient. Many of the teas are
deep steamed and have a fine flavor that is
easily extracted. In the past, most of the
tea drunk in the Kanto region was
Shizuoka tea.
In recent years, the production of Matcha
has increased.
Sencha is the main type of tea here.
Since it is produced on a vast flat land, it is
highly mechanized, including large
harvesting seasons.
Sweet varieties of tea are often produced.
Because of the large area of fields, it is
easy to produce organic tea, and there are
organic tea farmers who produce a large
amount of tea. (Sencha, Matcha)
However, in recent years, farmers have been developing their own individual characteristics, so diversity has been increasing.

15. The characteristics of Uji-cha tea - 宇治茶の特徴 -
【Characteristic of Taste and Flavor of Uji-cha tea】
Uji-cha tea is characterized by its rich aroma and flavor, mainly from high-grade teas (Matcha and Gyokuro)
grown under cover.
(1) Over the past 800 years, varieties with strong aroma and flavor have been selected, inherited, and
improved.
(2) By using a cultivation method that covers the new shoots, the content of the amino acid "theanine," which
is a flavor component, is increased.
(3) Theanine has been confirmed to have a relaxing effect.
【Tea Type and Tea Season】
(1) Uji-cha tea comes in a variety of varieties, including Matcha, Gyokuro, Kabusecha, Sencha, and Hojicha.
(2) Uji sencha is available from late April to late May for the first tea (Shin-cha) and from late June to early July
for the second tea
【How to brew and store】
①Tea utensils and tools can be substituted by anything.
②Use soft water for water and hot water.。
③There is an optimum temperature for brewing that can take advantage of the characteristics of each tea
variety.
*In particular, gyokuro, which is rich in amino acids, needs to be brewed at a low temperature of 40 to 60 degrees Celsius.
*It has been shown that low temperature brewing and water extraction suppresses astringency and accentuates flavor.
④ Tea leaves are sensitive to moisture and light, so take care to store them properly.

17. Potential Ways to Use Japanese Green Tea -日本茶活用-
Key Points
■Don’t Use Stem 茎を避ける
■Use Well-Dried One 火入れのしっかりしたものを使う
茎は食感がよくないので、料理やドリンクに使いづらい(食物繊維そのもの)。
そのため、仕上げ茶を使う方が、茎や塊が少ない。
茎茶という茎だけ集めた茶が売られており、青々しい味を出すので、その特徴を活かすことも可能。
To take care of texture of leaves, you had better choose tea without STEM part.
Processed tea has much less STEMs.
It is also possible and good, for uniqueness of fresh flavor, to use stem tea, which only stems are collected
in a factory
緑茶は、発酵の過程があるウーロン茶や紅茶に比べて香りが弱いです。
そのため、少しでも香りを強調したい場合は、火入れ(乾燥)をしっかりした茶を選ぶのが良いので、
卸の担当者に「火入れの強いものを」とリクエストして下さい。
ただ、火入れを強くすると、どのお茶も似たような香りになるので、バランスが難しいところです。
Japanese green tea has less flavor than woolong tea or black tea that has fermentation process.
That is why I recommend to choose well-dried one if you want to emphasize flavor.
You can request “strong Hi-ire” to a wholesaler.
However, it is also a issue that there is less difference of taste and flavor between well-dried tea.
18. Know Supply Chain -日本茶の流通を知る-
荒茶 = 農家が販売
Ara-Cha = farmers sell directly
近年、小売店でも荒茶を売っているが、基本的には
農家からの直売で安く購入できる。
選別機を通っていないので、茶の長さが不揃い、茎
や粉が混ざっている。ブレンドはされていない。
Less cost, but less uniformity and has stem and
powder. Not blended
仕上げ茶 = 問屋(卸)、小売店が販売
Processed tea = wholesaler and retailer have
選別をして、さらに乾燥をかけているため、均一な味
で保存能力が高い。
問屋か小売店がブレンドをしているので、独自の味を
持っている。火香(火入れによる香り)を求める場合

Blended by wholesaler or retailer. More Hi-ire.
125 companies are now joining Kyoto Tea Cooperative is doing its best to produce 荒茶 with various
characteristics and sensitive 仕上げ茶 with sensitive technique of judgement and blend to match customers’
preference.
20. Know Supply Chain -日本茶の流通を知る-
Key Points
■農家さんから仕入れるのは、価格は安くなるが、選別ができていない
Tea from farmers(Ara-cha) is less cost but less selecetion.
■仕上げ工程により、異物や茎が取り除ける。茎や粉茶は有効活用できる。
Processed tea has less stem, powder and lump of leaves.
Can utilize stem and powder which collected in the process.
■茶屋に、イメージを伝えて近い茶を売ってもらう方法もあるRetailer do more customized blend for
customers, so you can ask them to blend with your preference.
Wholesaler usually don’t do this if it is a small amount order.
■小分けに仕入れられるルートが理想(保管・保存の品質向上のため)
It is ideal to use a small-packaged tea bag for chefs and restaurants to keep it fresh.
21. How to Store Japanese Green Tea –日本茶の保管・保存方法-
Key Points
■密封状態であれば、冷凍、冷蔵ともにOK。冷凍から出す場合は、常温に戻してから開封。
Both of freezing or refrigerating are available if packaged. When you use a frozen package, make it
at room temperature before using.
■開封後の保管は、茶缶では空気に触れる量が多い。何度も開け閉めする飲食店に向かない。ジッパーが
ある袋か、一般的なアルミの茶袋で、毎回空気を最大限抜いて密封する。
I do not recommend to keep Japanese green tea in a tea caddy after opening a package because
there are more air in it. I recommend to release air from a package and close it.
■開封後は、冷蔵庫・冷凍庫はNG。冷蔵庫は匂いが移る。冷凍庫は、周辺の水分が凍り、解凍時に結露し
て湿ってしまうため、劣化が早い。
乾燥した冷暗所が理想。(ワインセラー?)
After opening a package, it is not good to keep it in a fridge or freezer. Other foods’ smell
will transfer if kept in a fridge. I don’t recommend freezer after opening a package because
moisture in a package or around will be frozen and it ruin tea when defrosting if kept in a
freezer.
