About the Book:
Tea is a globally loved non-alcoholic beverage, celebrated for its relaxing qualities as well as its health benefits as a nutraceutical. This book delves into the evolving landscape of tea production, where plantations are transitioning towards mechanization, and agro-technologies are being rationalized for greater efficiency. The introduction of biotechnological approaches is shaping the future of tea cultivation, enhancing genetic resource management and plant improvement to boost both productivity and quality, especially in challenging environments.

Additionally, tea manufacturing is undergoing a transformation with the introduction of advanced machines that ensure more precise and controlled processing. A key innovation in tea processing discussed in this book is the pre-withering machine, a disruptive concept that promises to reshape the industry. The book also explores the rising popularity of health-oriented tea products, such as theaflavins, polyphenols, and decaffeinated tea. Fast tea products, including Ready-to-Drink teas, tea concentrates, instant tea, and tea-based juices and wines, are poised to impact the market.

This comprehensive work brings together the latest advancements in tea husbandry, physiology, biochemistry, manufacture, and biotechnology, offering readers an in-depth overview of the current state of tea technology.
