Fermentation is extremely important for the formation of the special flavor of Wuyi rock tea. This study determined volatile metabolite contents using GC-MS technique and futher analyzed their odor characteristics during the traditional deep fermentation technology of Wuyi rock tea. The results showed that 17 characteristic compounds significantly changed during the first stage of the preliminary processing, namely fresh leaves, withering and fermentation. The key to the formation of floral aroma lied in dihydromyrcenol, and the woody aroma derived from six terpenoids, and their synthesis depended on dihydromyrcenol content. The fruity aroma was dominated by six esters, and the fruity aroma mainly came from (Z) -3-hexen-1-yl butyrate, (E) -3-hexen-1-yl butyrate and 5-Hexenyl butyrate. This study provided an important theoretical and practical basis for improving the preliminary processing of Wuyi rock tea.

During the production of Wuyi rock tea, withering and fermentation play a crucial role in the primary processing of the tea, greatly influencing the development of its distinct taste characteristics. In this study, Rougui () was selected as the research object to investigate the effects of withering and fermentation on metabolites and taste characteristics in tea leaves. The findings revealed that a total of 1249 metabolites were detected in Rougui leaves at various processing stages, of which only 40 key metabolites were significantly altered.

As an important process for enhancing aroma of Wuyi rock tea, roasting has gradually been applied to the processing of bud green tea (BGT). However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the impact of roasting on BGT aroma. This research provides a detailed analysis of the changes in aroma perception and compounds during the low-temperature roasting process (105°C, 90 minutes) of BGT.
