Instant Green Tea Extract

Product Name: Instant Green Tea Extract
Catalog Number: ALPE-TB001
Plant Source: Camellia sinensis
Part Used: Leaf
Applications: Functional Foods, Tea Bags, Beverages

Description

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.
