Black Tea Extract Powder, also known as soluble black tea powder or instant black tea concentrate, is a highly concentrated form of black tea obtained through advanced extraction processes that preserve its beneficial compounds. This versatile powder captures the essence of black tea, offering a convenient way to enjoy its characteristic flavor and health properties without the need for brewing. It's widely used in various industries, including beverages, functional foods, dietary supplements, and even cosmetics.
Featuring Theaflavins and Thearubigins, these primary antioxidants combat oxidative stress and support overall health.
Potent antioxidants that contribute significantly to the extract's comprehensive health benefits.
Natural caffeine combined with L-theanine promotes a state of relaxed alertness and improves cognitive focus.
Driven by increasing consumer awareness of its health benefits and a rising demand for natural ingredients in food, beverages, and cosmetics, the market was valued at approximately USD 137.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 213.43 billion by 2031. This growth is fueled by its application in energy drinks, dietary supplements, and skincare products seeking its anti-aging and soothing properties.
We prioritize tea leaves sourced from specific geographical indications, ensuring optimal compound profiles. Direct partnerships with tea gardens allow for complete traceability from field to finished product. Low-temperature extraction technology is designed to meticulously preserve the delicate theaflavins and aroma compounds often compromised in standard high-heat processing. Furthermore, flexible OEM/ODM capabilities allow us to collaborate closely with clients to tailor the powder's specifications—such as ingredient blends, solubility (hot or cold water), and concentration (from 10:1 to 20:1)—to meet unique product visions and application needs.
1. Customized Composition & Potency Control
Theaflavins (1%-4%) and Thearubigins (10%-20%) levels optimized for antioxidant efficacy. Solubility enhancements for cold/hot applications reduce technical barriers in beverage production. Scale ranges from 1 kg to 10-ton batches with rapid turnaround.
2. Raw Material Traceability & Consistency
Direct sourcing from USDA/EU-certified tea gardens with full supply chain transparency. Batch-to-batch consistency guaranteed via HPLC and GC-MS verification (≤5% variance in active compounds).
3. Advanced Extraction Technology
Low-temperature extraction preserves thermo-sensitive compounds (e.g., theaflavins retention rate ≥90%). Provides 70% higher yield compared to conventional spray-drying methods, reducing input cost per unit.
