Product Overview
Black tea is produced from the fully fermented leaves of Camellia sinensis, a perennial evergreen shrub traditionally harvested once or twice per year depending on growing region and climate.
During the natural fermentation process, tea catechins undergo enzymatic oxidation to form characteristic theaflavins and thearubigins-compounds that contribute to the distinctive chemical profile of black tea.
Instant black tea extract powder captures these naturally occurring tea solids in a concentrated and standardised form, making it suitable for formulation development, manufacturing applications, and botanical research.
