Tea Education
You can see the color contrast of shaded and unshaded tea leaves. The shaded tea tends to have deep green color due to the amount of chlorophyll produced during the process. Meanwhile, the unshaded tea leaves look more yellowish.
They differ not only in terms of color but also taste and aroma. The shaded tea tends to be less bitter (low catechins) and more umami (high L-theanine amino acids), and the aroma is closer to seaweed aroma. For some people, it smells like creamy milk aroma.
On the other hand, unshaded tea leaves tend to be bitter and less umami with fresh tea leaves aroma.
