3. Product Insights
3.1 What are Natural Tea Polyphenols?
Natural Tea Polyphenols are a group of bioactive compounds predominantly found in tea leaves, including green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. They comprise flavonoids, phenolic acids, and catechins, with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) being one of the most prominent and studied components. These polyphenols are responsible for many of the health benefits associated with tea consumption.
3.2 Physical and Chemical Attributes
- Appearance: Usually presents as a light brown to dark brown powder with a characteristic tea-like aroma.
- Solubility: Soluble in water and some organic solvents, which facilitates its incorporation into various formulations, be it beverages, dietary supplements, or topical applications.
- Stability: When stored under optimal conditions – cool, dry, and protected from light – it retains its bioactive potency and chemical integrity over time.

5. Production Process
- Sourcing Prime Raw Materials: We meticulously source high-quality tea leaves from renowned tea-growing regions. The leaves are carefully selected based on factors like variety, season, and cultivation methods to ensure maximum polyphenol content.
- Extraction and Purification: Employ a combination of advanced extraction techniques. Solvent extraction, often using ethanol or water-ethanol mixtures, is commonly used to dissolve the Natural Tea Polyphenols along with other beneficial compounds. Ultrafiltration and chromatography steps, especially high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are then applied to purify the extract and isolate the pure Natural Tea Polyphenols.
- Drying and Packaging: The purified Natural Tea Polyphenols are dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying to obtain a stable powder form. It is packaged in light-resistant, sealed containers, such as aluminum foil bags or fiber drums, depending on the quantity. This packaging safeguards against light, moisture, and air ingress, ensuring product stability and potency.
