Physicochemical and Phytochemical evaluation of different black tea brandsPradeep Kumar Sharma, Mohammad Ali, Dinesh Kumar Yadav
Highlights
Tea is one of the world’s most popular beverages.Tea is primarily made from the leaves and buds of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) (Zhang et al, 2019)
We conducted a literature review on existing methods that applied elemental fingerprinting for tea authentication
The elemental fingerprinting technique appears to be a promising source of information for categorizing tea based on geographical origins, harvesting time, cultivars, and types
Summary
Tea is one of the world’s most popular beverages. Tea is primarily made from the leaves and buds of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) (Zhang et al, 2019). The optimum climate for growing tea is 19°C–23°C with 2,500–3,000 mm per year of rainfall. Shoot growth is greatly reduced when the temperature is outside the 13°C–30°C range or the rainfall is less than 1,200 mm per year (Jayasinghe et al, 2019). Tea is suitable for being cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. According to 2019 data, China is the world’s leading tea producer, accounting for nearly half of the global tea production. It is followed by India, Kenya, and Sri Lanka (FAO, 2021)
