What it is

Green tea concentrate is a liquid extract made from green tea leaves. The leaves are steeped in hot water to extract their flavor and beneficial compounds, and then the liquid is concentrated by removing most of the water. This process intensifies the tea's taste and properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use green tea concentrate to add a natural green tea flavor to beverages like iced tea, bottled teas, and flavored waters. It can also be used in baked goods, candies, and other food products where a subtle tea taste is desired. Its concentrated form allows for efficient flavoring.

Health notes

Green tea concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains antioxidants, such as catechins, which are studied for potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated green tea extracts. Evidence on the health effects of green tea consumption is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits related to heart health and metabolism, while others show mixed results.

Allergen info

Green tea concentrate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
