Black Tea P.E. 20% Polyphenols

What is Black Tea P.E. 20% Theaflavin?

Shall we start with a little tea time trivia? Black tea P.E. 20% theaflavin is derived from the leaves of Camellia sinesis, also known as Chinese tea. Several varieties of tea (white tea, green tea, oolong, pu-erh tea and black tea) are all harvested from C. sinesis, but are processed differently to attain different levels of oxidation.

Tea contains high levels of polyphenols, a large group of plant chemicals thought to be responsible for the health benefits traditionally attributed to tea. Polyphenols act as antioxidants, substances that may protect cells against the effects of free radical molecules. Free radicals are produced by the digestion of food or by environmental exposures such as tobacco smoke and radiation and can damage cells. All living organisms maintain a reducing environment inside their cells. All cells contain complex systems of antioxidants to prevent chemical damage to the cells' components by oxidation.

Purebulks's black tea theaflavin is tested to contain at least 20% theaflavin. Theaflavin belongs to a class of antioxidant polyphenols.
