Features: Compiling Tea Chemistry was an unfulfilled wish of Professor Chen Chuan before his passing. After establishing five independent tea disciplines—Tea Processing, Tea Tree Cultivation, Tea Analysis, Tea History, and Tea Economics—he had been diligently accumulating materials, preparing to compile this book. Since the reform and opening-up, China's science and technology have advanced rapidly, and tea chemistry research and practice have also developed quickly. High technologies have been widely applied. Professor Chen believed it was urgently needed to summarize and improve these advancements to adapt to the demands of the times and economic construction, further guiding tea production and research. He felt it was essential to compile and publish this textbook as soon as possible. However, after reaching his nineties, he sensed his age, limited physical strength, and energy, so he entrusted this important task to the compilers. The book's content is closely linked to tea production and research, with relatively comprehensive and detailed information, serving as a reference for tea science and technology professionals and industrial workers. It can also be used as a textbook for tea-related majors, as well as a trusted guide and companion for tea enthusiasts.
