Tea is a traditional beverage and originated in China. China is the largest producer of tea in the world. However, during the processing of tea, much tea stems and tea hairs are produced and usually discarded, which results in a large amount of waste. In this minireview, we mainly focused on reviewing the recent progress of chemical compositions and biological activities of tea stems and tea hairs by searching the CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using “tea hairs and tea stems” as the key words, to provide the good reference for the comprehensive development and utilization of tea stems and tea hairs.
