Tea stems contain an equal number of aromatic substances. The aroma of tea leaves gradually decreases from the first leaf to the third leaf, and the aroma of tea stems is the highest. The aroma substances of tea are mainly in the main veins of tea stems and young leaves, and the amino acids in the young stems are higher than those in the young leaves. The vascular tube in the stem is the main transport tissue of nutrients and aroma. Most of the substances it contains are water-soluble. During the processing of tea, the aroma is transferred from the stem to the leaves as the water evaporates. After these substances are transferred to the leaves, they combine with the effective substances in the leaves to form a higher and stronger aroma quality.
