摘要： The sensory quality of black tea (BT) influenced by various factors, among which tree age is particularly significant. People prefer BT produced by fresh leaves from old tea trees, yet the correlation between tree age and tea quality has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we analyzed the quality of BT from young trees (H-JYH) and old trees (H-OJYH) using e-tongue technology and sensory evaluation. Our findings revealed that HOJYH had stronger sweetness and sourness, richer flavor, and diminished bitter-astringency compared to H-JYH. 1231 non-volatile metabolites and 504 volatile metabolites were discovered by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). L-tartaric acid and trans-citridic acid were found to contribute to increase acidity, and 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin and D-fructose 6-phosphate were associated with enhanced sweetness in H-OJYH. Additionally, lower levels of octyl gallate and vanillic acid in H-OJYH contributed to the diminished bitter-astringency. beta-ionone, 2-phenylethanol and phenylacetaldehyde merged as characteristic compounds of older tree BT with stronger floral and sweet aroma. Our study serves as a guideline to explore the relationship between tree age and tea quality.
