Different Withering Times Affect Sensory Qualities, Chemical Components, and Nutritional Characteristics of Black Tea

The present study emphasizes the effect of withering time set at 4 ± 0.5 h (WT4), 6 ± 0.5 h (WT6), 8 ± 0.5 h (WT8), 10 ± 0.5 h (WT10), and 12 ± 0.5 h (WT12) on the sensory qualities, chemical components, and nutritional characteristics of black tea. The sensory evaluation revealed high total quality...
