A study on Camellia sinensis leaves sample extracted the air-dried leaves powder with different solvents like n-hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform (61̊C), ethanol (78̊C) and distilled water. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was done measurement of various parameters like extractive value, (moisture content) loss on drying, and quantitative estimation of total ash, and acid insoluble ash, and water-soluble ash value may be helpful for identification of tea leaves powdered drug. The fully grown leaves are bright green colour smooth and leathery, young leaves are pubescent.
