  „This “massaging” of the leaves causes the edges to rub against each other, thus gradually breaking the cell walls and triggering a series of chemical reactions as the plant fluids and substances (such as the enzymes, chlorophyll, polyphenols, and carbohydrates) come into contact with each other. The result is visually evident when the tea leaves are infused later in the pot and a thin reddish rim appears around each leaf.“
