'''Oxidation''' is a reaction of enzymes in tea leaves with oxygen. Earlier it was also called [[fermentation]] but this term is incorrect because a fermentation process always involves microorganisms. In production of [[Pu-erh|pu-erh]] tea fermentation is used to make the tea ripe.

Oxidation is an important part in production of tea. For [[green tea]], the oxidation must be stopped immediately while [[black tea]] is oxidized to nearly 100%. [[Oolong]] however, has an average degree of oxidation of 10-80%.
