Grade Standards For Camellia Oil

Camellia oil can be classified into Maocha oil, 2nd grade tea oil, and 1st grade tea oil based on their color, odor, and acidity levels. Maocha oil is generally produced by using a hydraulic sleeve press from the tea oil producing area. It has a unique tea seed oil fragrance, light color, poor transparency, and contains a lot of impurities; Grade 2 tea oil is a type of crude tea oil that removes phospholipids, proteins, and other water-soluble impurities. It is produced using modern extraction techniques and has a slightly lighter color than crude tea oil; Grade 1 tea oil (i.e. refined tea oil) is a high-grade oil produced by degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization of crude oil, with a lighter color and lighter odor.
