Organic Black Tea Extract

Organic black tea extract is a concentrated liquid or powder made from organic black tea leaves. The leaves are steeped in hot water to extract their flavor and beneficial compounds, then the liquid is concentrated and dried. This process captures the essence of black tea in a more potent form.

Manufacturers use organic black tea extract to impart a rich, robust tea flavor to a variety of beverages and foods. It is commonly found in iced teas, bottled teas, fruit drinks, and even some baked goods or desserts where a tea flavor is desired. Its concentrated nature allows for consistent flavor delivery.

Organic black tea extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Black tea contains antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which are studied for potential health benefits. JECFA has evaluated tea extracts and established acceptable daily intakes. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of caffeine from tea products can lead to jitteriness or sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals.
