Kaneroku Matsumoto Black Tea Tasting Sampler – 8-Level Koshun Cultivar Set

Description

The process of creating black tea involves withering the leaf after harvest to reduce moisture, then rolling the leaf to break cell membranes and release enzymes, then “fermentation” — which we now know to be chemically a form of enzymatic oxidization (rather than true fermentation which involves bacteria).

One factor in creating the flavor is the degree to which a producer allows the leaf to “ferment”
