description Benshan tea is a kind of oolong tea, and Benshan (Camellia sinensis) tea tree originates from Anxi County of Fujian Province in China, which is a national tea tree breed. Tea processing is the key to the formation of its odor characteristics. It is extremely important to step by step analyze effects of tea processing on aroma intensity and the formation of odor characteristics for optimizing tea processing process and improving tea quality. The results of this study showed that processing resulted in a significant increase in the content of volatile compounds in tea leaves, i.e., from 25.213 μg/kg to 111.223 μg/kg, in which the volatile compounds were mainly terpenoids. Secondly, the analysis found that 20 kinds of key compounds constituted to odor characteristics of Benshan tea leaves, among which geraniol, trans-β-ionone, gerol, citronellol, benzeneacetaldehyde, and trans-nerolidol were the most key six. Floral and fruity aromas, especially floral aroma, mainly formed odor characteristics of Benshan tea after processing, while floral aroma mainly came from the contribution of geraniol, which was the foremost compound in the formation of floral aroma of Benshan tea.
