What it is

Organic Tea Essence is a concentrated liquid or powder made from organic tea leaves. It is produced by extracting the flavor and aroma compounds from tea through processes like steam distillation or solvent extraction, followed by concentration and drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic tea essence to provide a natural tea flavor and aroma to food products. It is commonly found in beverages like iced teas, flavored waters, and sodas, as well as in some baked goods and confectioneries.

Health notes

Organic Tea Essence is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It contains compounds found naturally in tea, such as antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tea and its extracts, generally considering them safe for consumption at typical levels. Evidence suggests moderate tea consumption may be associated with certain health benefits, but no definitive causal links to disease prevention or treatment have been established.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Tea is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens, nor does it contain gluten.
