Tieguanyin is one of the most consumed oolong teas because of its distinctive flavor. The brewing process is crucial for the flavor performance of traditional teas, thus the effects of brewing conditions, including water/tea ratio (R), brewing temperature (T), and time (S) on the sensory traits, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity of Tieguanyin tea infusion were investigated using quadratic orthogonal regression design. Results showed that R affected all the quality variables most, its reduction could lead to the promotion of tea infusion concentration, antioxidant activity, and taste intensity, which was favored by the tea consumers drinking tea almost daily (DTD) but unacceptable for those drinking tea hardly (DTH). Based on the optimization of brewing conditions in response surface methodology (RSM), we recommended several brewing schemes for diverse consume goals: R = 34 mL/g, T = 80 °C, S = 80 s for DTH; R = 39 mL/g, T = 100 °C, S = 127 s for DTO (the consumers drinking tea occasionally); R = 20 mL/g, T = 100 °C, S = 100 s for DTD; R = 26 mL/g, T = 100 °C and S = 127 s for the common consumers seeking for flavor and health benefits. These results would be helpful for tea consumers with multiple demands.
As a worldwide popular drink, black tea has always been one of the main focuses of tea studies. However, few studies have addressed the flavor profiles and related components, and most researches were based on a single factor. This study investigated the effects of multiple brewing conditions (temperature, time, water/tea ratio, and particle size) on the phytochemicals (non-volatile and volatile compounds) and sensory profiles of black tea infusions through response surface methodology. The regression models describing the brewing of detected indexes were significant (p ≤ 0.01) and reliable (R 2 ≥ 0.902). The particle size led to the greatest variation of non-volatile compounds and presented negative correlations, while the water/tea ratio affected the composition of volatile compounds the most. Meanwhile, through the addition of the selected aroma compounds (geraniol and β-ionone), an enhancement of black tea infusion sweetness was observed, proved the existence of odor–taste interaction in black tea infusions.
