Peptides with different lengths or amino sequences could have specific tastes or bio-activities. So far, either the quantity or pattern differences of peptide among various of teas were unknown. Here, firstly, we developed a method for tea oligopeptide quantification and made comparison of their contents. Secondly, we applied ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-orbitrap ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Quadrupole-Orbitrap-UHRMS) to sequence oligopeptides. As a result, the total amount of oligopeptides in white tea and dark tea were higher, followed by black tea and green tea, finally with oolong tea. It suggested that withering which undergoes with endogenous protease and post-fermented that undergoes with a participation of exotic micro-organisms were key in oligopeptide enrichment. Thirdly, a total of 902 abundant identified peptides, most of which were tripeptide, tetrapeptide, pentapeptide, and hexapeptide were screened against several existing peptide databases. There were a series of taste peptides and bio-active peptides existing.
