What Are Tea Theaflavins?

Products are a complex class of dimeric polyphenols formed by enzymatic oxidation of green tea catechins (EGCG and EGC) by polyphenol oxidase. These compounds are often known as the “Gold of Tea”. They are Theaflavin (TF1), Theaflavin-3-gallate (TF2A), Theaflavin-3'-gallate (TF2B) and Theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF3).

Theaflavins are more thermally stable and more efficient in controlling lipids than green tea catechins.  They are deep amber in hue and full-bodied in taste, like good black tea. For formulators they solve fundamental challenges of supplying constant antioxidant strength without the tannin astringency or caffeine levels of raw tea constituents.

Core Advantages for Your Formulation Needs

Premium Raw Material Selection

We use only the finest Camellia sinensis leaves from restricted growing areas in China to ensure minimum pesticide residues and little plasticiser contamination.

High-Activity Standardized Extraction

Our innovative water extraction procedure removes undesirable tannins while preserving bioactive theaflavin monomers. You get 20-60% consistent content across manufacturing batches.

Multi-Gradient Content Customization

Whether you want entry level 20% formulations or hyper concentrated 60% extracts for clinical grade supplements, we customise concentrations to your precise demands.

Low-Caffeine Solutions Available

Standard extracts have very low caffeine content (2-10% naturally ocurring). We provide decaffeinated products with <0.1% caffeine for delicate applications such as nighttime consumption or heart health drinks.

Superior Thermal Stability

Tea Theaflavins Unlike green tea catechins which decay rapidly, tolerate pasteurisation temperatures up to 120°C for short periods which makes them perfect for ready-to-drink functional drinks.

Diverse Application Scenarios

Cardiovascular Nutraceuticals

Develop pharmaceutical capsules and softgels for LDL cholesterol regulation and endothelial function Theaflavins are metabolised via a unique metabolic mechanism to reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption with sustained plasma concentrations compared with EGCG.

Functional Beverage Formulations

In ready-to-drink teas and energy beverages. Theaflavins prevent 'tea cream' precipitation in cold storage and provide sustained antioxidant claims and a bright spirits look that withstands UHT processing.

Nutricosmetics and Anti-Aging Skincare

Add to topical serums and beauty supplements to eat. Powerful anti-glycation characteristics fight skin ageing and hyperpigmentation caused by oxidative stress, and work consistently in oil-rich emulsions.

Natural Food Preservation

Used as a natural colourant and lipid stabiliser in premium meat processing and fat containing goods to replace synthetic chemicals and to reduce peroxidation.

Scientific Research Foundation

Fushan Biotechnology has its own database of molecular pathways including 6 main signalling targets including Nrf2 to enable evidence-based product development. by 13 years of dedicated study in functional nutrition, each batch of Tea Theaflavins is accompanied by strong scientific proof.

We provide partners with:

  • Functional raw material supply
  • Clinical evidence documentation
  • Formulation strategy consultation
  • Patent licensing opportunities
  • Regulatory compliance assistance

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Our products are supplied through partnerships with GMP, ISO22000, HACCP, and HALAL-certified facilities. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for:

  • Pesticide residue removal
  • Plasticizer contamination screening
  • Heavy metal compliance (Arsenic compliant)
  • Microbial safety (<10 CFU/g total aerobic count)

We support your regulatory needs across global markets, ensuring seamless integration into your supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the difference between Theaflavins and Green Tea Catechins?

A:Theaflavins are dimers formed from catechins during oxidation. They possess higher potency in lipid modulation and offer better stability in liquid formulations, making them superior for cardiovascular applications.

Q:Can this extract withstand high-temperature processing?

A:Yes. It demonstrates superior thermal stability up to 120°C for short durations, making it ideal for pasteurized functional drinks and UHT-processed beverages.

Q:Is the product caffeine-free?

A:Standard extracts contain minimal naturally occurring caffeine (2-10%). We provide high-purity decaffeinated versions with <0.1% caffeine for sensitive applications like evening supplements.

Q:How is the bioavailability compared to EGCG?

A:Due to their unique dimeric structure, theaflavins follow a distinct metabolic pathway that leads to sustained plasma concentrations in certain human clinical trials, offering prolonged bioactivity.

Q:How should it be stored to prevent darkening?

A:Store in airtight, light-resistant containers in a cool, dry place. UV exposure and humidity can trigger polymerization into thearubigins, reducing theaflavin potency and altering color.

Q:Is product quality guaranteed?

A:Absolutely. We guarantee manufactured products match confirmed samples. Each batch undergoes strict testing complying with Chinese, European, or US Pharmacopoeia standards before shipment.
