The demand for organic black tea extract is rising across Europe, driven by health-conscious consumers and clean-label trends in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics. However, EU buyers must consider more than just price and purity when sourcing this botanical. As an organic black tea extract manufacturer, we have extensive experience in the European market.
In this blog, I will give a detailed guide on what EU buyers need to know when choosing high-quality organic black tea extract.
What is organic Black Tea Extract?
Organic black tea extract is a brown-red powder obtained by extracting black tea through a special process. Black tea extract contains bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, theaflavins and catechins. Studies have shown that these compounds can support cardiovascular health and promote metabolism. Black tea extract is widely used in dietary supplements, beverages, and skin care products.
