Abstract
The chloroform test is a good measure of fermentation, a vital step in the manufacture of black tea. Time of harvest, temperature and duration of exposure to chloroform were variables on two-leaf-and-a-bud samples to assist in selection of Chinese tea clones grown under Florida conditions. Change in color from green to deep golden brown to brown, indicative of good fermentation, took place faster and more uniformly among samples plucked in the morning. Best color development occurred at 27° to 30° C and with 150 to 180 minutes exposure to chloroform vapor.
