What are the characteristics of tea leaves that have not been fully kill-green?

1. Smell. The soup has leaf aroma, grassy aroma, that is a big green smell, not cooked; bean aroma, burnt aroma appear, most not cooked, tea that is raw inside but burnt outside also harms people;

2. Look. Heavy steeping to see the soup color, if the soup color is mainly reddish, not cooked; tea stems red also not cooked. Speaking of this, argumentative people will say, then according to this, the old craft of Yiwu, these old teas are not cooked, so many people drink them, no problems? In the previous fragment I said, actions must be complete. Most of the old craft in the past was made into red soup tea, with a lot of later processing; some were stored, storing new tea and drinking old tea, called tradition; also Yunnan people drink tea in roasted tea style, so coldness naturally absent; many teas entered Tibetan areas, border areas, and abroad, mostly eaten and drunk, such as making butter tea, with milk and other things to neutralize, not harming the body, this is also why milk tea is more respected and popular; also in the past tea was in forests, new things like terrace tea have only been prevalent for a few decades, tea in forests not fully kill-green, drinking new tea harm will not be too great. No more elaboration, wait for an opportunity to write a dedicated article to discuss this topic in detail.

3. Taste. The tea soup is hard, with a rough feeling, not cooked. Also the taste of the tea soup is not stable enough, mostly not cooked.

4. Body sensation. Everyone's constitution is different, need to feel quietly, or need a lot of training, in a word, it brings coldness, stagnation, bloating, palpitations and other feelings to the body, mostly not cooked, of course, do not rule out the reason that the ecology is too poor.

Welcome to supplement, I will summarize later, this is suitable for writing a big article.
