Enter a New Chinese Tea Phrase
Translation shaqing (Sha1 Qing1) = a stage in the production of lücha or oolong in which the leaves are heated or steamed into Mao Cha so all polyphenol oxidase enzymatic activity is ended, literally Killing the Green (杀青 or 殺青); confusingly, the same name is used for a process of heating leaves for pu’ercha that stops well short of enzyme inactivation
