Green Tea Extract

Plucking and trimming are two stages of the harvesting process. The plucking of tea leaves from the bushes is an important step in obtaining a higher-quality tea following processing. Following the plucking, the bushes are pruned to remove the top layer of congestion.

After harvesting, withering is the initial processing stage to lower the water content of the leaves, followed by leaf maceration to encourage and speed up oxidation. In order to enhance tea flavour and provide a long shelf life, the green tea extract powder is prepared using the conventional method (CTC) and spray drying.
