The next stage is twisting or crushing, which is mainly done by special machines, but here and there it is still produced manually. It starts very important from the point of view of the future biochemistry of tea process - twisting damages the membranes of tea leaf cells, releasing enzymes and polyphenols, which activate the process of oxidation, the connection with oxygen.
