Sweet tea extract is derived from Rubus suavissimus S. Lee, a perennial shrub widely distributed in southwestern China, known as sweet tea due to the sweet flavor of its leaves. Sweet tea has been enjoyed for centuries in China, and its reputation for flavor and health benefits has spread far and wide. Rubusoside is the main sweetening ingredient in sweet tea extract, characterized by its high sweetness, low calorie content, and high nutritional content. It is expected to be a natural green alternative to sweeteners such as sucrose and saccharin.
