I know I know you like what Terpenoids and flavonoids let me explain Flavonoids are phenolic compounds found in most plant foods and in particularly high concentrations in tea. Terpenoids play important roles in the formation of tea aroma quality due to their pleasant scents and low odor thresholds. Most volatile terpenoids contain stereogenic centers, which results in various stereo distributions of their enantiomers and diastereoisomers in different types of tea.
