Instant green tea extract is a versatile, water-soluble powder derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the same plant used to produce black and oolong teas. Unlike black tea, green tea leaves are rapidly steamed or pan-fired after harvest to prevent oxidation, preserving their natural bioactive compounds and subtle flavor.

This easy-to-use extract retains the fresh, mild taste of traditional green tea and is ideal for incorporation into a wide variety of product formats—including wellness beverages, tea blends, functional foods, skincare formulations, and dietary supplements. With excellent solubility and a clean profile, it provides both nutritional value and formulation flexibility.

Rich in natural antioxidants, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), green tea extract offers a range of potential health-supporting properties:

• Supports Cognitive Function: The combined action of EGCG and L-theanine may help enhance memory, focus, and overall brain health. Long-term intake has been associated with reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline.
• Boosts Metabolism: Green tea extract may promote thermogenesis and fat oxidation, especially when used alongside physical activity, making it popular in weight management formulations.
• Provides Antioxidant Protection: Its high polyphenol content helps neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and support overall cellular health.

Instant green tea extract serves diverse functions across several industries:

• Food and Beverage Industry
